R help - Apr 1999 - A couple problems installing 0.64 (under linux, redhat 5.2)

I'm encountering a couple problems configuring and making R 0.64 under
linux, redhat 5.2
These problems didn't occur when I build 0.63.2

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(1) configure generates the warning:

"configure: warning: Cannot determine how to create shared libraries.
    Please set CPICFLAGS, FPICFLAGS and SHLIBLDFLAGS in `config.site'."

I'm not sure what's needed here.  The only flag I use to create shared
libs is '-shared',
but adding that to config.site not make the warning go away.

(2) Apparently there are some X headers that make is not finding.  Make
generates the
(terminal) error:

" ...
gcc -O3  -I../include -I../../src/include -ansi -c dataentry.c
In file included from dataentry.c:24:
dataentry.h:22: X11/X.h: No such file or directory
dataentry.h:23: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
dataentry.h:24: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory
dataentry.h:25: X11/keysym.h: No such file or directory
dataentry.h:26: X11/cursorfont.h: No such file or directory"

Any idea where these headers are on a redhat system? I can't seem to
find them
in any of the usual places.

Thanks,

Both of these are the same path problem.  You need /usr/X11R6/bin in the
path for configure to find xmkmf, and you need /usr/X11R6/include for the
include files. Configure found

X_CFLAGS =  -I/usr/X11R6/include
X_LIBS =  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
X_PRE_LIBS =  -lSM -lICE

for me once I had /usr/X11R6/bin in the path. I build on Linux remotely,
and have to ensure that the X bits are in my path (when they would
be automatically if I used the console, if that was not a terminal
in a locked room in another building, ....

These header files are part of the XFree86-devel package. On my system (RedHat
intel 5.2) they are in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/. Anyway, why are you rebuilding
the packages? Why not just install the binary rpms?
