I have compiled R-0.62.1 on a DEC Alpha system that is running Digital
Unix 4.0. I had to change some settings in Makeconf from those
generated by configure. I changed the LDCMD to gcc and the LIBS to
include -lFutil and -lfor. (I wonder if they realized how close their
name for the Fortran utilities is to the word "futile".) I also had
to force it to use the GNU version of the install program as the DEC
version is not as fully featured.
I get a compilation but it creates a floating point exception as soon
as you try to run it.

Has anyone been successful building R-0.62.1 (and running it) on this
platform?
Builds on Solaris/SPARC and Solaris/Intel and Debian GNU/Linux Intel
went smoothly. I may try to see if I can get a person running Debian
GNU/Linux on an Alpha to try a build there.
