[R] Problems Building R-2.3.1 on Alpha server ES40 running Tru64 V5.1B PK#5

[Ravi, Narendra, INFOT]

R Listers,

One of the list contributors suggested I abandon attempts to build
R-1.9.1 and focus on building R-2.3.1. I believe the main set of
packages have been built properly (with some changes to the code) -
however, when building the Recommended packages, the build fails.



CODE CHANGES:
=============

1. My C compiler requires a ";" on line 589 of
..../src/main/printutils.c. Here is the diff:
# diff src/main/printutils.c.orig src/main/printutils.c
589c589
<  if (con_num>0) error("Internal error: this platform does not support
split output")
---
>  if (con_num>0) error("Internal error: this platform does not support
split output");


Build Results:
==============

The problem seems to be in building the Recommended packages. For MASS,
The actual build seems to happen in /tmp, however, the next package
expects the build somewhere else. Do I have to build the Recommended
packages? If not, how do I avoid it? I suspect the unresolved symbols
are OK, as they will get pulled in from shared libraries.
