R devel - Oct 1999 - Compilation problem with R

Dear Sirs,

I try to compile the R ver 65.1 in my UNIX machine, but I have some
difficulties. In particular
running the ./configure I have the following results  (I give only the
no, all the others are yes)

checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking for g77... no
checking for sin in -lmoto... no
chechecking for main in -lhdf5... no

R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.5

  Source directory:         .
  Installation directory:   /usr/local
  C compiler:               gcc  -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:         f2c
  Gnome support:            no

and when I run the make command I have the following  (after all the
lines)

drotg.o(.text+0x170): undefined reference to `__d_sign'
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `../../bin/R.X11'
Current working directory /udd/szimeras/rhome/R-0.65.1/src/main
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `R'
Current working directory /udd/szimeras/rhome/R-0.65.1/src/main
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `R'
Current working directory /udd/szimeras/rhome/R-0.65.1/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `R'

Ofcourse I can run R.

Could you give me some directions about the problem?
Many thanks

Stelios Zimeras

Aha. Now you're telling us...

This looks like a fortran library gone missing. Perhaps the linker
doesn't know where to find it? You may need to hand-edit the Makeconf
file to tell it where to look (-L/opt/local/lib in FLIBS is a guess,
but it is completely dependent on your setup). 

Another option could be to install a g77 compiler.
