[R] itanium

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

I think you need to use a later compiler, one with a shared libg2c:  
open.o is in libg2c.  With the system you are using, Fortran code cannot
be used in shared (.so) objects.  As Dirk E. says gcc 3.2 works on Debian,
you could try that (although Debian had a relocatable libg2c when gcc did
not).  Alternatively, try rebuilding the g77 libraries with PIC flags.

While you are at it, why not use the current R-1.6.2?
