As long as you can see where it goes wrong, just ask again, citing the relevant bit of the log. Finding this is a bit convoluted for the FPICFLAGS issue because the failing test is just for whether the variable was set earlier, which AFAICS should happen here: ## Step 2. GNU compilers. if test "${GCC}" = yes; then cpicflags="-fPIC" shlib_ldflags="-shared" fi if test "${G77}" = yes; then fpicflags="-fPIC" fi if test "${GXX}" = yes; then cxxpicflags="-fPIC" shlib_cxxldflags="-shared" fi Now, the natural guess is that ${G77} wasn't set earlier on, so look for the place where it figures out the Fortran compiler. > > On Friday 14 October 2005 14:19, Peter Dalgaard wrote: > > Rainer M Krug <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Hi > > > > > > I hope this is the right list for the question. > > > I want to install R from source under SUSE 10.
