Hello,
I am trying to compile R-2.2.0 on Slackware 10.2.
I did ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i486-slackware-linux. It went
off without any problem and gave this configure status:
R is now configured for i486-slackware-linux-gnu
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /usr
C compiler: gcc -g -O2
C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2
Fortran compiler: g77 -g -O2
Interfaces supported: X11, tcltk
External libraries: readline
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: R profiling
Recommended packages: yes
When I gave make command, I got the following error message:
gcc -I. -DUSE_MMAP -I. -I../../../src/include -I../../../src/include
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c crc32.c -o crc32.o

make[1]: *** [R] Error 1

What should I do to correct this?
Thanks for your help.

This an error in a standard system header file /usr/include/errno.h, not something we can help with. However, is --build=i486-slackware-linux actually correct? Our manuals do not suggest you specify --build, and if incorrect it might just explain this.

Your system is badly screwed up. On my Slackware 10.2, /usr/include/asm/errno.h is just a plain file and doesn't include anything else, unlike yours, which seems to look for "asm-generic/errno.h". The package you need to re-install is "kernel-headers-2.4.31-i386-1". It is part of the d series, on your slackware CD or wherever you got it installed from. On your box, the file is not missing but screwed up, so you should get somebody more experienced to take a look at your box and get it fixed before trying to uninstall/reinstall. Good luck. HTL P.S. for ix86, very old slackware [kernel 2.2 or before?] "asm/errno.h" is linked to "/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/errno.h" [because "/usr/include/asm" is linked to "/usr/src/linux/include/asm", which in turn is linked to "asm-i386" (I have an "asm-generic", which is just a link from asm-i386); for more modern boxes, "asm/errno.h" is just a plain file in a plain directory.
