[BioC] Ruuid: Can't install on OSF1

[Michael Hoffman]

Hi, I can't install Ruuid on a DEC/HP AlphaServer running OSF1, which
is blocking the installation of some other Bioconductor libraries. Here's what happens:

$ ~/arch/OSF1/opt/R/bin/R CMD INSTALL Ruuid

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Ruuid'
** Removing '/nfs/acari/mh5/arch/OSF1/opt/R/lib/R/library/Ruuid'
** Restoring previous '/nfs/acari/mh5/arch/OSF1/opt/R/lib/R/library/Ruuid'

The problem is that -std1 tries to enforce strict C89 compliance,
which means no inline keyword. This causes the C compiler to barf when
it gets to an inline declaration. I cannot, for the life of me, figure
out how to get this thing to compile without the offending -std1
option, since R helpfully deletes all the build files between each run.

This problem also exists when using install.packages2("Ruuid",
develOK=T)

Any hints?
