Dear all,

[Rd] problems for ./configure on Ralpha: gcc related

St?phane,

the problem is that your compiler doesn't work (as the message  
clearly tells you). You must have working compiler (and other  
development tools) before you try compiling R.

I have no clue how you managed to get such a broken compiler, because  
Debian comes with a complete, working compiler suite ... you should  
fix your OS in the first place ...

BTW according to Google Ralpha is a "Russian American Space  
Cooperation", so I wonder how you got it on your computer in the  
first place ;)

Cheers,
Simon

[Rd] problems for ./configure on Ralpha: gcc related

Revision 2007-09-10 without a hitch and is in Debian unstable, see

	http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=r-base

for the build logs (and my embarassing three revisions to get r-cran.mk [ for
r-cran-* packages ] right).

So if I were you I'd start with (assuming you point to Debian 'sid'
aka
unstable)

	# apt-get update     
	# apt-get build-dep r-base

to make sure you you have all required packages.  You could also rebuild from
my sources via

	# apt-get source r-base

or simple install the three-day old binary.

FWIW I also just rebuilt from these sources on Ubuntu Feisty at work (where
you need to adjust debian/rules and debian/control as they do not have
gcc/g++ 4.2 yet).

Hope this helps, feel free to ask Debian questions on r-sig-debian.

Cheers, Dirk

The error message is as it says - crt1.o not found. It is located in 
/usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64 usually, and is part of the glibc-devel package
on redhat or rpm based systems, and probably has a similiar name on
Debian (although they have a funny way of mincing and separating 
packages into sub-packages unnecessarily, but I digress...).

My suggestion would be to apt-get any debian packages which says 
glibc-*, particularly glibc-*-dev-* .
