With regard to Martyn Plummer's recent posting (thanks 2 Martyn 4 this), 
I just updated to gcc 2.96-69 and glibc 2.2-9 from Red Hat, but I run 
exactly into the same error messages. What's strange is that the

  make check

works without any problems! Moreover, I get plenty of 

  warning: nothing can be pasted after this token 
 
when compiling. I read Paul Johnson's comments on this: 

  http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/R/help/00b/1121.html

but I already took the updated cpp version as explained
on

  ftp://calvin.iarc.fr/pub/R/RedHat/7.x/i386/DIY/ReadMe

or

  http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000-132.html

I also tried Luke Tierney's suggestion

  http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/R/help/00b/1058.html

but did not get sth. like

  ".""so" 

Once again, note that "make check" worked properly!

I tried this with R-1.1.1 and R-1.2.0.

Do I need to downgrade to gcc 2.95? 

I appreciate any help.

Sincerely

  Diego Kuonen
