Hi,
I had some trouble compiling the new R version on my Alpha:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr2/local/R/src/graphics'
cc -ieee_with_inexact -O -Olimit 2000 -I/usr/local/include -I../include -c
gdevice.c
cc -ieee_with_inexact -O -Olimit 2000 -I/usr/local/include -I../include -c
graphics.c
cc: Error: graphics.c, line 808: An unexpected newline character is present in a
string literal.
printf("Gpretty(%g,%g,%d): cell=%g, ndiv= %d
<=0;\t\t(ns,nu)=(%d,%d);
-----------------^
...
It seems that my DEC cc does not understand strings that fill two lines.
The solution to this is to join the lines 808 and 809 of src/graphics.c
into one line.
There is another problem with paste(): it did not work anymore:
> paste("a","b")
Error: memory exhausted
This happens with an empty .RData file, even with "R -v100" and
and plenty of free memory.
Because paste() is used very often, e.g. already in library/base/R/Rprofile
(in getenv("RHOME")) to determine the RHOME variable, R does not work
anymore (But 0.61.1 did).
This happens when I build R on DU 4.0B (with some DEC-Patches
(OSFV40B-patch-133.00 and ...136.00 = threaded libc, ...) applied (OSF1
V4.0 564 alpha).
The same thing happens when this DU-4.0B binary runs on DU-4.0D (OSF1 V4.0
878 alpha)
Now I compiled R on a the machine running DU 4.0D and the "memory
exhausted"-Problem vanished, and R runs without the memory problem on
this DU-4.0D machine.
But when I now run the DU-4.0D binary on DU 4.0B I get some kernel
warnings:

inst emulated pid=19282 <R.binary> va=0x11fffdf0e pc=0x3000002dc04
inst=0x3bfe002e>
This also happens when I build and run R on an unpatched version of
DU-4.0B. This binary runs without memory error and warnings on DU-4.0D.
So it seems to me that R-0.61.3 will only run without errors or warnings on
DU-4.0D ?
Has anyone else other experiences with R-0.61.3 on a DEC Alpha?
Albrecht
PS:
Now I discarded the DU 4.0B version of R.
But just now I see the next problem (with the DU 4.0D version):
help() does not work:
> help(ls)
Error: subscript out of bounds
hist() does not work:> x<-rnorm(1000)
> x11()
> hist(x)
Error: subscript out of bounds
...?
