[R] Compiling R on an Alpha

[Naoki Takebayashi]

Hello,

After you do ./configure, check if it is properly configured.  In my case,
I was getting the problem you mentioned because the configure script did
not recognize my machine (Alpha 21164PC). This problem is already reported
to r-devel.  I guess DS-10 is 21264?? Then, it should be recognized as ev6
or ev67?  Check the very begining of the output of ./configure and it
should say something like:

checking host system type... alphapca56-unknown-linux-gnu

If it says "failed to recognized ev67", try ./configure --host=alpha.

I assume you are using Linux on the alpha. If your system is rpm based,
there is a prebuit rpm of most recent R.  

ftp://cran.r-project.org/pub/R/bin/linux/redhat/6.x/alpha/
