Hello,
With regards to Peter's comment, I got R to compile on OSF 4.0C, though
I'm a little behind on versions. I only have 0.63.3 and haven't found
anything newer...
All kidding regarding typos aside, I went through that floating point
exception business on the Alpha and I just didn't have time to make it
work. Someone tipped me on to f2c, which I had used with my (old gcc
2.7.2.?) compiler under Linux. I figured that the fewer different
compilers I played with, the better, so I tried f2c on the alpha.
As it turned out, f2c didn't work with gcc but did work with the
'official' cc from DEC.
I can take the stock distribution of R, and edit config.site adding
MAKE=gnumake
CC=cc
and
configure --with-f2c
works just fine.
By the way, this is a very pleasant (and helpful) mailing list !!
