[R] R 1.90 make problem with /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xutil.h on suse linux 9.1?
This is probably a Suse specific problem and not a bug in R, but I'm reporting it in case it's useful for someone to know about.... Trying to compile R1.9.0 from source on a standard Suse 9.1 install (athlon in a shuttle sn41g2). configure seems fine but the Suse X11R6 Xlib.h might be toxic. In case it helps, here's the sad end to the make output. I can post the Xlib.h if that would help... Please email me directly for more information if needed as I don't normally read this list....meanwhile, I'll go try the rpm.... making rotated.d from rotated.c making rbitmap.d from rbitmap.c
