[R] compiling R in alpha digital unix 4.0E

[J.Harold@uea.ac.uk]

I am trying to compile R on an alpha running digital unix 4.0E.

I have used the R-0.99.0a source code, and run the following, 

 ./configure --prefix=/hpc/readonly/code/bin.alpha/R

and get this error 

checking for Fortran libraries...  -lUfor -lfor -lFutil -lm -lots -lm
checking whether Fortran libraries work correctly... no
configure: warning: Fortran libraries do not work correctly
configure: error: Maybe your Fortran installation is incomplete


I have no problems with fortran for anything else.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Julie
