Hi Dirk, I am only aware of a patch by someone that worked around this problem for a FTBFS, but Orion seems to have gone to the root of the problem.
If tre would accept his patch and R core would make it possible to specify the system tre library as a configure option, this would be perfect! Johannes Am Samstag, 1.
