[Rd] R compilation on old(ish) CentOS

[Peter Dalgaard]

You may want to check out your checkout....

I see:

Peter-Dalgaards-iMac:R pd$ grep newsock src/main/connections.c 
    con = R_newsock(host, port, server, serverfd, open, timeout, options);

but your file seems to have lost the ", options" bit somehow. Also, mine is line 3488, not 3477.

Maybe you have an old file getting in the way?
