I had the same problem when I compiled on my Alpha last week. The error disappeared when I edited the source to join the line with the following parts of the statement to make it all one long line. Then cc did not complain. cc does not seem to like the division of the statement into multiple lines. If my memory serves me right, after that problem disappeared, most of the software compiled okay until I got an error related to the compiler not being able to find readline.h. These errors made me think I should be compiling with gcc. I went back and compiled with gcc. Everything compiled beautifully, but when I started R I got a core dump and a statement about a floating point exception.
I had the same problems with R and gcc on the Alpha with earlier versions. If I remember right, it's because of lacking IEEE-arithmetic in gcc. So may be you have no chance to get a working version with gcc. After my trouble with R 0.61.3 I?m now using R 0.61.1 again. This is the last version which runs without problems on the Alpha (compiled with cc, not gcc!)
