Dear R-help, I'm trying to compile R-1.4.1 on Irix, and run into the following error when making R.bin: The linker (ld32) complained that "gzeof", "gzgetc", "gztell", and "gzseek" are unresolved symbols in connection.o. Are these supposed to be in libz.a? My suspicion is that maybe the libz.a on this system is outdated. Any hints? TIA!

We test for >= 1.1.3, and that dates from 1998 and does contain those symbols. It seems more likely that the library is corrupt. It is highly recommended to use zlib 1.1.4 for security reasons, so I suggest replacing libz.a with that version. -- Brian D.
