[R] Build problems on Linux SuSE 9.1

[Christian Lederer]

Hi,

did anybody succeed in building R on SuSE Linux 9.1?
My compilation failed with the following error messages:

The same happened for R-1.8.1.
However, i cannot believe that SuSE 9.1 contains faulty Xlib.h,
since i can compile other programs including this file.
Fortunetely i could install the rpm for SuSE 9.0.
