[Rd] PGI 6.1 compile error

[Paul Gilbert]

I am trying to compile R-2.3.0 (both first release and patched 
2006-05-10) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 7) 
using the Portland Group compiler version 6.1 and the notes from 
Jennifer Lai on p33 of "R Installation and Administration" version 2.3.0 
(2006-04-24). I have not used this compiler before, so it is possible 
things are messed up more than usual, even for me.

Following  the R Installation and Administration notes I set
      export PGI=/usr/pgi/linux86-64/6.1
      export PATH=$PGI/bin:$PATH
      export MANPATH=$MANPATH=$PGI/man:/
      export CC=pgcc
      export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Kieee"
      export CPPFLAGS="-I$PGI/include -I$PGI/include/CC"
      export F77=pgf77
      export FFLAGS="-g -O2 -Kieee"
      export CXX="pgCC"
      export CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -Kieee"
      export F95=pgf95
      export FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -Kieee"
      export SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=-shared
      export SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-shared
      export LDFLAGS="-L$PGI/libso -L/usr/lib64"

However, the last line causes
:../../src/R-2.3.0-patched/configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.


Either unsetting  LDFLAGS, or setting it to  "-L/usr/lib64"

.../../src/R-2.3.0-patched/configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib64
configures but I get

Any help would be appreciated.
