Dear R-list,

Realising the importance of updating the R base, I tried to compile the 
source file of R2.2.1 in my machine, but failed.

According to "R for Mac OS X FAQ", i've got the basic dependencies 
which are gcc 3.3 and g77 3.4.
  ./configure is fine
Here are the errors I got from make:

 >make
...
gcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 
-I../../src/extra/pcre  -no-cpp-precomp -I. -I../../src/include 
-I../../src/include -I/sw/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  
  -g -O2 -c Rmain.c -o Rmain.o
gcc -mdynamic-no-pic -L/sw/lib -L/usr/local/lib -o R.bin  Rmain.o  
-L../../lib -lR
ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _signgam
../../lib/libR.dylib(lgamma.lo) definition of _signgam

ld: /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.3/libgcc.a(_fixunsdfdi.o) illegal reference 
to symbol: ___floatdidf defined in indirectly referenced dynamic 
library /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.0.dylib
make[3]: *** [R.bin] Error 1
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1


So... is it something wrong with my gcc?

I also have older version of R installed in my machine. R1.8 and R2.0.
And I have linked executive files called R and R2.0 in  /usr/local/bin/
and linked R and R2.0 directories each containing "library" directory 
in /usr/local/lib
Hope they are not affecting the installation of R2.2.1.


Any suggestion would help.
Thanks a lot.
