I am afraid 1) This is a message about an outdated version of R, and 2) The problem is most likely the compiler and the way it (mis)compiles src/modules/lapack/dlamc.f. This is covered in the R-admin manual (which INSTALL asked you to read). This said in 2.1.1 It seems that @samp{gcc 3.4.

(Moved from R-help). This comes up often enough that I'm starting to think most functions that take filename arguments should have file.choose() as the default value. Then one could do read.table() and have a dialog box pop up in Windows, or some other prompt for a filename in other platform

I would argue against this. If this were the default, that is requiring user interaction, it would break a fair amount of code that I (and I am sure a lot of others have) where automation is critical. A lot of the issues seem to be user errors, file permission errors, hidden extensions as is poin
