[Rd] build problems on Fedora Core 1

[Korbinian Strimmer]

Hello...

   I tried to build R-devel today on Fedora Core 1 (with gcc 3.3.2)
but I am running into a couple of errors.  On the same system R-1.8.1
compiles just fine, as did a previous version of R-devel.

This is what I did:

  # change LANG as default in FC1 is UTF-8
  export LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
  export LANGVAR=en_US.ISO8859-1

  # get fresh sources and configure
  mkdir R-devel
  rsync -vrC rsync.r-project.org::r-devel R-devel
  cd R-devel
  ./tools/rsync-recommended
  ./configure


This results in the following configuration:


#####################################################################
R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu

   Source directory:          .
   Installation directory:    /usr/local

   C compiler:                gcc -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -mieee-fp -g -O2
   C++ compiler:              g++ -mieee-fp -g -O2
   Fortran compiler:          g77 -mieee-fp -g -O2

   Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk
   External libraries:        readline
   Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG
   Options enabled:           R profiling

   Recommended packages:      yes
#####################################################################


After typing "make" the build process started and everything look ok
until an error message in the directory /library/stats4 occurs
(see full make log file below):

  Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable ".getGenerics" was 
not found

Later the make process aborts with a string of messages

   Error: couldn't find function ".installPackageNamespaceInfo"


Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks,

    Korbinian
