Need Arith.h

I just installed 1.0 (great job, everyone!) and rebuilt all my packages. I have
found an error in making  VR_6.1-6.tar.gz:

Installing package `MASS' ...
 libs
gcc -I/usr/lib/R/include   -mieee-fp  -fPIC -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -g
-c MASS.c -o MASS.o
MASS.c:631: Arith.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [MASS.o] Error 1

The file /usr/lib/R/include/Arith.h used to be there (locate says it's there,
but the locate db hasn't been rebuilt yet) but isn't anymore. I suspect it got
left out of the R-base RPM. (I'm running RedHat Linux 6.1 (Intel)). Could
someone send me the file, please? That would be much easier than downloading
the source or a corrected RPM -- all I have is a 28.8 kbps connection here :-{ (

Thanks very much.

That's not the current version: using VR_6.1-7.tar.gz does not give this
problem. It will be true for a number of other packages too.

            

      
      
      
    

        
-fno-strength-reduce -g

            

      
      
      
    

        
there,

            

      
      
      
    

        
It was there prior to 0.99.0, but not in the last two versions.

            

      
      
      
    

        
No, please don't do that. Put "R_ext/Arith.h" in the source of old
versions of packages if you need to.

  
There is a rationale for the change: `Arith.h' is too common a name
for us to be sure of people getting the right one.
