I'm sorry for having to post this, but I've run out of ideas. I've been
trying to build R-2.8.1 from source for installation on FreeBSD 6.4
(seems to be working fine on osx) and keep getting the same results,
regardless of how I set ./configure


$ ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-x=no --with-blas FFLAGS="-fpic"

R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-freebsd6.0

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local

  C compiler:                gcc -std=gnu99  -g -O2
  Fortran 77 compiler:       f95  -fpic

  C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
  Fortran 90/95 compiler:    g95 -g -O2
  Obj-C compiler:	      -g -O2

  Interfaces supported:      tcltk
  External libraries:        readline
  Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, TIFF, iconv, MBCS, NLS
  Options enabled:           shared R library, shared BLAS, R profiling

  Recommended packages:      yes

$ make

generates the following results:

$ make

Is this is problem with g95, gcc(s) or something I'm not doing
correctly? Should I try to build an earlier version instead? I've tried
building the g95 freebsd port (not from source) and can't seem to get
any traction...

any ideas?
Thanks.
