[R] Compiling R as a shared library

[Min-Han Tan]

Hi,

I am trying to compile R as a shared library (need to run RMAGEML,
which depends on SJava) on 64bit SUSE Linux 9.1 . I am using the
source code for R 2.0.1 (Nov 15 04)

>  ./configure R_PAPERSIZE=LETTER R_BROWSER=/opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/konqbrowser.desktop --enable-R-shlib

results in several errors (selected errors below), and make check also
yields errors (at bottom) The errors seem to centre around conftest,
with
configure:29275: test -z 
			 || test ! -s conftest.err
being fairly typical, occuring multiple times in config.log.

Any advice on trouble shooting this would be greatly appreciated. 

Min-Han
