Hello: Thus far I have only used R under NT 4.0, but recently at work we have acquired a new Solaris machine, on which R has just been installed. I was told a while ago by Professor Ripley on this list that I need to have gcc version 2.95.2-1 in order to make dll's for windows. And the "-1" certainly does make a difference there. Our new Solaris machine has gcc 2.95.1 on it, and I wonder whether using that version of gcc will cause me problems under Solaris, using R 1.2.2 and soon R 1.2.3. Our system guy tells me that getting another version of gcc may be low priority for them... Thanks in advance.

Just there, and actually just for the mingw32 port.
2.95.1 on it, and I wonder whether using that version of gcc will cause me problems under Solaris, using R 1.2.2 and soon R 1.2.3. Our system guy tells me that getting another version of gcc may be low priority for them... Thanks in advance.
2.95.3 is current, but on Solaris 2.95.1 is OK. (On Linux it was not entirely OK, and 2.95.2 was/is better.) Brian
