R help - Sep 2000 - R for Irix 6.5 or lower

Good Day:

Has anyone successfully compiled R, especially R.1.1.1,  for Irix 6.5 or
lower (an SGI octane machine) and if so, may I get a copy of it?  Our
computer does not have all the requisite software for compiling R -- to wit,
a fortran compiler -- and there is insufficient demand here for R to warrant
purchasing a compiler from SGI.  I am trying to spur demand for R here by
making it more available.

Regards,
David Gruben

I can't help directly, but does g77 not work?  If you have a C compiler,
you can compile g77 (and I bet you can find pre-compiled versions for SGI
on the Web).
