[R] Build R-1.9.0 with static libraries ?

[Mélanie PELEGRINI-ISSAC]

I am still unable to build a binary for R (linux Red Hat 9 distribution) 
which would be self-consistent (without shared objects and use of 
dynamics librairies).

I would be very grateful if someone could explain and/or help me...

  OK, I've set MAIN_LD to 'gcc -Bstatic'
  but now 'make' fails for the following reason:


  Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
      unable to load shared library
  "$BuildDir/library/methods/libs/methods.so":
    $BuildDir/library/methods/libs/methods.so: undefined symbol: R_GlobalEnv
  Execution halted
  Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
      unable to load shared library "$BuildDir/library/stats/libs/stats.so":
    $BuildDir/library/stats/libs/stats.so: undefined symbol: R_GlobalEnv
  Execution halted
  Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
      unable to load shared library "$BuildDir/library/tools/libs/tools.so":
    $BuilDir/library/tools/libs/tools.so: undefined symbol: R_NaString
  Error: couldn't find function ".installPackageNamespaceInfo"
  In addition: Warning message:
  package tools in options("defaultPackages") was not found
  Execution halted



  So I'm afraid I'm still missing a flag somewhere... I'm sorry but I'm
  not used compiling such packages so I cannot figure out where I made a
  mistake.

  Thanks again for your patience :-(

  Melanie
