[R] libg2c.so with new Debian

[Erin Hodgess]

Hi R People:

I just installed Debian on my desktop and am compiling R from source.

However, I'm getting the error message:

checking for Fortran 77 libraries of f77...

I know that it's looking for libg2c.so, but I can't seem to find that
library.  When I check on the Internet, it is deprecated.

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Erin
