Hello, I decided to try to compile R version 1.0.0 on my home-hacked linux system. This is not a conventional distribution, but has been upgraded countless numbers of times (I think it started as a 1.2.13). It's up to 2.2.13 (kernel version) and I still use gcc 2.7.2.3. I have managed to deal with the fortran part of R with f2c. As it turns out I can compile the program OK, but when it gets to the libraries, specifically ctest (the first one that has a piece of fortran in it), the program complains that it can't find f2c.h. I MAY have moved the header to the wrong place when I rearranged my libraries for glibc, but it does make it through the normal compile. I also found an f2c.h in the include/R_ext subdirectory of the source tree, in addition to my usual header source location. I saw that the one in the source tree has some R-specific comments in it, and I assume that it is the correct one to use for R. I know I probably should upgrade my gcc, and I have 2.95 sitting around somewhere but I also know things won't fit on one of my machines and I like keeping everything the same. Is this 'can't find the header' problem a bug or a feature to drive me to upgrade my compiler? Seriously, either I have something set incorrectly on my computer, or the Makefile isn't being generated correctly by configure. Or something else. Some words of wisdom would be highly appreciated at this point....
