[Rd] R 2.1.1 installation fails under Suse 10.0 (PR#8533)

Version: 2.1.1
OS: Suse Linux 10.0 (Full DVD)
Submission from: (NULL) (141.20.100.252)


Suse 10.0 installs only a Fortran 95 compiler with g77 compability mode. Using
this leads in "configure" to an abortion with problems about "FPICFLAGS".
Deinstalling g77 compatiblity mode, using f2c, compiles R. But after calling R()
the program shows its entrance message and then hangs up, using 100% of the
processor capacity.

What finally works on my computer was setting a softlink from /usr/bin/g77 to
gfortran such that the fortran 95 compiler was used directly during the R
compilation.
