[R] make error for R-2.3.0

[Randall C Johnson [Contr.]]

Hello,
I'm trying to install R on a linux machine running Red Hat 8. I ran

./configure
make

and get the following error. I've installed several versions of R (2.2.1
most recently) on this machine and haven't had any problems until now. I
wondered if the outdated compiler (gcc version 3.2) was the problem and
attempted to install my own, more recent version. I tried gcc versions 4.1.0
and 3.4.6, but still have problems. The output below is using gcc 3.4.6 (my
best attempt, but still ending with the same error as gcc 3.2). Any pointers
would be appreciated.

Best,
Randy

system: i686-pc-linux-gnu
gcc version: 3.4.6

everything seems to be fine up to this point:
