I compiled and ran R 0.62.1 without any serious problem on SunOS 5.5.1 and it also ran on SunOS 5.6. To compile on SunOS 5.6 I had to get a new version of gcc and g77 . Having done that I can now compile with no errors on SunOS 5.6, but when I try to run R there are serious problems: R : Copyright 1998, The R Development Core Team Version 0.62.1 (June 15, 1998) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Almost the entire file is simple assignments, so it's very likely likely that the trouble spot is the .Alias line in: .. machine <- function().Internal(machine()) colors <- function().Internal(colors()) colours <- .Alias(colors) args <- function(name).Internal(args(name)) .. which, pretty obviously should not fail. Check whether the file looks sane and if it is then whether you can execute the lines by hand. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
