[R] Version 1.5.1 STILL failing make check.

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Rolf,

Let me repeat:

With gcc 3.1/2 on Solaris you need to compile arithmetic.c without
optimization.

-O asks for optimization.  What I suggest you do is

make clean
rm config.log
set config.site for gcc
make
cd src/main
rm arithmetic.o
make

and then repeat (copy-and-paste) the compilation of arithmetic.o *omitting
-O2*.

make

That should do it.
