Hi Computing services here at QUT are trying to compile R0.61.2 for me on a silicon graphics computer running IRIX Release 6.2 IP25 and gcc. %gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix5.3/2.7.2.2/specs gcc version 2.7.2.2 %perl -v This is perl, version 5.004_04 built for irix Basically, it was impossible for me even to get R configured although under Linux RH4.2 and DEC ALPHA Digital UNIX V4.0B, R compiled fine. Using gmake, some editing of configure and make files and upgrading perl computing services got an executable but ... it doesn't work. R can't find base package which is probably because library/base/{INDEX,R/,TITLE} are all missing :-( Fatal error: unable to open the base package Has anyone had any luck compiling on a similar machine and if so have you got any suggestions.
