R devel - Sep 2004 - First testing of R-2.0.0 alpha on Gentoo Linux

I just got R-2.0.0 alpha running on my Gentoo Linux system. The only
issue I had was that if I do "--with-lapack" in the
"configure", "make
check" fails very early. Once I removed that option, "make
check-all"
passed. I have both "blas-atlas" and "lapack-atlas"
installed on my
system. The Atlas version is 3.6.0.

There were a few warnings in the logs of "make check-all". Does anyone
want to see the log files? I'm going to go ahead and test 2.0.0 with
some of the simple things I do. I don't do anything very complicated
with it, so it may not shake out anything. If there's anything
Gentoo-specific you want me to run, please let me know. I'm on the
Gentoo "science" mailing list and I can get their attention fairly
easily.

Hmm, but would the linker know where to find them? Also, there could
be an issue with dynamic vs. static libraries. Any configure experts
around?

Not all of them, for every build... I think most of the warnings are
in principle known by the respective authors, but a small "executive
summary" might have some nag factor value.
