R devel - Sep 2003 - R on BeOS

Hello,
I have compiled R-1.7.1 on Beos R5 (x86) and got it running.
The modules x11 and internet dont work (so the only working display is 
postscript()). 
The libraries all compile, but there is a problem with methods.
I get the following error when i make methods:

dumping R code in package 'methods'
Error in .Call("R_initialize_methods_metadata", table, PACKAGE = 
"methods") :
        .Call function name not in load table
Execution halted 


The other big problem is that select() is not working on BeOS R5.
So on Rstd_ReadConsole() the if (FD_ISSET(fileno(stdin), what)) 
statement always fails.
I did FD_SET(fileno(stdin), what) manually to enable the console.
What other inputs exist that could have problems here ?
I only found fd_set used in the modules internet aqua and in tcltk and 
those all dont work on BeOS anyway.

I would like to test my build, but make check fails because of missing 
lapack and tests in /test fail because of missing
../library/methods/R/all.rda.

If anyone would like, i could give details on the other things i had to 
do to compile R on BeOS (only #undef, paths etc.).

This may indicate a problem of missing/superfluous underscores in 
exported symbols of shared libraries - see the discussion concerning 
OpenBSD port conducted recently (late July; see also 
HAVE_NO_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE). Each platform has different requirements in 
that respect and "methods" is the first package that loads a dynamic 
library and uses its functions.
