Re: [Rd] a plead to package developers regarding GCC

2006-06-07 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Andy, Are you talking about C or Fortran code here? Fortran has `intrinsics', C does not AFAIK. I think we do pretty strict checking of C code in CRAN packages, and I have not encountered problems with other C compilers (e.g. the Solaris ones). There used to be issues with CRLF line endings,

OK: despite Dirk's very kind help, I decided that trying to deal with R configuration and Debian configuration simultaneously was too difficult. I did manage to solve my problem by reconfiguring/making/ installing all of 2.3.1 from source: ./configure F77=/usr/bin/g77 make make install A
