R devel - Oct 2004 - Re: Bug#275791: r-gnome: gnome library can not be read (PR#7276)

Dear R bug fixers,

This came in early this morning. The R/Gnome configuration, and selection of
libraries hat not changed one bit since I last built 1.9.1 -- but maybe
something change in the Gmome/Glib/Gtk, or even x11, libraries? Would anyone
know where RestoreAction is defined?

The list of Debian packages on which r-gnome depends is below; as this is
computed from ldd output I won't add that direct ldd output, but would be
glad to supply it as well as other information if it could aid in fixing this.

Thanks, Dirk

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

It was in bin/R.bin in 1.9.1, and is not in bin/exec/R in 2.0.0

gannet% nm -pg bin/R.bin | grep RestoreAction
0826da30 D RestoreAction

Grepping the sources shows it is defined in 

src/main/startup.c:static SA_TYPE       RestoreAction = SA_RESTORE;
src/modules/gnome/system.c:extern SA_TYPE RestoreAction;

and removing the `static' solves this for me.  I guess no alpha/beta 
tester used the GNOME interface ....

Fixed in R-patched and R-devel now.
