[R] Build on Solaris 8 gcc-3.1 fails make check

[cberry@tajo.ucsd.edu]

Dear R-help,


I am trying to build R-1.5.1 on a Sun Blade 100 (sparc). 

It fails make check when var(1) returns NaN instead of NA.

Using gcc-2.95.3 from sunfreeware.com, the build succeeds and passes
make check

I have:

 Solaris 8
 gcc-3.1 (built on that machine from sources and installed in
   /usr/local/gcc-3.1 with binaries symlink'ed to /usr/local/bin)


A synopsis is at the bottom of this message.

The web page
 
        http://hacuna.ucsd.edu/Rbuild-Problem/

has these files from this attempt

    Makeconf               3k  
    Makefile               4k  
    Makefrag.cc            1k  
    Makefrag.cxx           1k  
    Makefrag.f77           1k  
    R-build-session      140k  <<=== terminal output from session

    config.status         56k  
    gcc-v--help.out       35k  <<== details about compiler

files not labelled '<<==' are from the top source dir.

A briefer synopsis is below.

Please cc replies to me - I subscribe to DIGEST form of R-help.

Thanks,

Chuck

p.s. On that same machine using gcc-2.95.3 from sunfreeware.com, the
build succeeds and passes make check. Using gcc-3.1 from
sunfreeware.com, it fails in the same way as decribed above.

Briefly, I did this:

# ./configure R_PAPERSIZE=letter CPPFLAGS=  LDFLAGS= 
( CPPFLAGS= suppresses annoying messages like these:
cpp0: warning: changing search order for system directory
"/usr/local/include"
cpp0: warning:   as it has already been specified as a non-system
directory)
