Building package to use OpeNDAP libraries
Thanks Simon. Everything fell into place when I compiled the OPeNDAP libraries from source, using gcc 3.3, so in this case a match is necessary. -Don

Yes. This will change for R 2.3.0 (see the nightly builds).

Not necessarily. If OpeNDAP libraries use ABIs that don't differ between 3.3. and 4.0 then it should work. Note that you still have to compile the R package with gcc 3.x, however the library it is linking to doesn't always have to be compiled with gcc 3.x. Cheers, Simon
