[Rd] Cannot build cluster_1.9,6 under R 2.0.0 beta Sep 21

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Doing the normal build process [1] for a first time with a R 2.0.0 snapshot
-- the Sep 21 version I uploaded to Debian's 'experimental' section two days
ago, ended in failure. The package in question is cluster 1.9.6 which should
be 2.0.0-ready.

The (partial) log follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 'make' and 'pbuilder' messages come from the build environment.

Any idea what is wrong here, and what I'd need to change?

[1] This happens in a chroot(8) ennvironment, from a well-defined and very
    basic Debian base system. "Build Dependendies" are then installed -- which
    in this case includes the R 2.0.0 beta from two days ago, as well a large
    number of other things given all the various header and libs R needs.
    This process is very close, but not identical to, what the Debian
    autobuilders use.
