R help - Aug 2006 - Source installation error: "gfortran and gcc disagree on int and double ...

...  configure: error: Maybe change CFLAGS or FFLAGS?"

Dear list, 

This problem has been posted before
(http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/7982.html), but
suggestions did not help. My machine:  AMD Duron 800 MHz, MandrivaLinux
10.2, gcc (and gfortran): 4.0.1, R source: 2.3.1. I had to set CPICFLAGS
and FPICFLAGS to "-fPIC". I tried ./configure with default CFLAGS and
FFLAGS flags and with "-O3 -g" with the same error message. 

How can I pass the error?

Thank you in advance, 

Mike.

First, you do not need -fPIC: it is the same as -fpic which R selects on 
your platform.

Second, please look at config.log to find the exact problem: it well be 
that your compilers are not properly installed (as was the case in the 
reference you quote below).

Finally, your compilers are pretty obselete (there have been 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 
4.1.0 and 4.1.1), so you should be updating them.

That was over three years ago, for R 1.6.0 on Solaris, so I am not sure 
why you thought it would help.
