There are two things missing when R tries to create the shared object
file on this line:

icpc -L/usr/local/lib64 -o e1071.so Rsvm.o cmeans.o cshell.o floyd.o
svm.o

Firstly, the compiler flag "-shared" is missing. It tells the compiler
to build a shared object instead of an executable. Secondly the linker
flag "-lR" is missing, along with the "-L" flag that tells the linker
where to find the shared R library.

To find out what went wrong, you should share the configuration you used
when building R.
