R-crew,
I'm trying to install the R-Snapshot which I downloaded a few hours
ago and I'm having a problem I can't trace. My system is
Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.3 : 1996
>From running ./configure:***************************************

checking for ranlib... (cached) ranlib
checking for g77... g77
checking for underscore after Fortran symbols... configure: error: Nothing worked - cannot use FORTRAN
*******End of ./configure output *********************************************
And make will not work.
Has anyone else had trouble with a Sun install?
Previous versions have configured and complied beautifully, as
this partial screen summary for ./configure on R-0.61 shows:
# checking for ranlib... (cached) ranlib
# checking for ar... (cached) ar
# checking for lpr... (cached) lpr
# checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) gcc -E
I also updated R-0.61 to 0.61.2 and 0.61.3 without any problem. It seems
this line in the older configure file returned true:
if test -z "$FC"
Since it skipped from ar to lpr without comment.
The new configure seems quite different. Any pointers?
TIA,
Jim
