Re: [R] lpSolve doesn't compile because of a malloc.h error

Yes, it was very clear but being an absolute beginner as a programmer I was misled by the presence of both stdlib.h and malloc.h in lpslink55.c (in a nutshell, I thought "Why s it complaining if stdlib.h is there, in the code??"). Anyway, thanks to your help I made it in the end. Ciao Vittorio

Re: [R] lpSolve doesn't compile because of a malloc.h error

Isn't the message rather clear? You need to edit the package sources and replace malloc.h by stdlib.h (or remove the former if the latter is already there, as in this case). And BTW, 'gcc-4.2.2' is unreleased, but imminent (as R 2.6.0 is). On Mon, 1 Oct 2007, vittorio wrote: > Under freebsd 6
