Hello everybody, I just installed SuSE PPC beta on my laptop but R won't compile because of a missing X object file. Everything went well under LinuxPPC but it's a pain in the butt not to have a german keyboard supported. So I decided to stick with the SuSE beta until they roll out their final version. Until then it would be nice to have R available without graphics or X, respectively. Can somebody tell me how to configure/make it? --Ragnar -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Get the R-devel snapshot from CRAN and use that. AFAIK it is the only version in which configure --without-x make works.

Thanks a lot! Now R works fine. There was only one little problem: In the src/unix/Makefile target "DLLs" the code inside the if/fi is executed even if R_GUIS is empty. I know enough about makefiles to find the problem and fix it temporarily by deleting the whole if/fi but I don't know how the correct if-clause would be. --Ragnar
