Hello, This is perhaps a little off-topic, but I am curious as to what compilers people use to compile R (under unix/linux). I am primarily interested in the use of egcs or gcc, g77 or f2c, etc. It seems most of the gcc interest and development is towards egcs, and while a gcc 2.8.1/g77 combination did work and compile R on my primary linux machine, it also managed to produce kernels that did not allow me to run X. I have reinstalled 2.7.2.1 (?? it's a machine at home) and have re-made my kernels, but I'm a little baffled as to what to do next. I admit my gcc 2.8.1/g77 installation was a bit odd but before I try and redo things I thought I'd find out what everyone else is using.
