Hi, I'm trying to build R on SuSE 10.1/x86_64.  I had to download fortran as
it wasn't supplied by SuSE.  Octave, which also uses both C and Fortran was
able to compile w/o trouble.  The problem I run in to with R is the
following.  R's configure script will complain that it can't find the
fortran libraries (octave didn't give this complaint).  When I specify them
using LDFLAGS, for some reason this causes the C test to fail (even though I
can still use gcc w/o trouble):

brandon@dell:~/R-2.3.0> export LDFLAGS=/usr/local/fortran/lib64
brandon@dell:~/R-2.3.0> echo $LDFLAGS
/usr/local/fortran/lib64
brandon@dell:~/R-2.3.0> export F77=/usr/local/fortran/bin/gfortran
...
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I've put up my config.log at http://sweb.uky.edu/~bebark2/config.log

Thanks in advance for the advice.
