I am trying to compile R-0.65 on a Sparc 20. I have gcc 2.7.2.2 and I have SC4.0. I used gcc to compile R-0.64.2 in July with no problems. Now when I run configure for R-0.65 I get the following message:>checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no >configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compilercannot create executables. and then configure exits. I had no such problem with any previous R configure script. Any ideas? -- William D.

Any ideas?a) make sure there is no config.cache or similar items floating around. b) look into config.log for clues, this will tell you the exact command that failed and there's likely also a conftest.xxx file around. ..and watch out for stray environment variables and write protected directories. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
