Hi R People: I just installed Debian on my desktop and am compiling R from source. However, I'm getting the error message: checking for Fortran 77 libraries of f77... checking how to get verbose linking output from gcc -std=gnu99... -v checking for C libraries of gcc -std=gnu99... -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../.. -lgcc_s checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... none checking for Fortran 77 name-mangling scheme... lower case, underscore, extra underscore checking whether f77 appends underscores to external names... yes checking whether f77 appends extra underscores to external names... yes checking whether mixed C/Fortran code can be run... configure: WARNING: cannot run mixed C/Fortran code configure: error: Maybe check LDFLAGS for paths to Fortran libraries? erinh at debian:~/Desktop/R-2.7.2$ I know that it's looking for libg2c.so, but I can't seem to find that library. When I check on the Internet, it is deprecated. Any suggestions, please?
