[R] [R 3.0.2] Compilation error in toms708.c during installation on Suse using icc

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is not the correct list: see the posting guide.

Two comments:

1) The messages are about C++ constructs, and toms708.c is a C file. 
Perhaps you need to specify C explicitly (even though for a reasonable 
compiler -std=c99 does that).

2) The lines highlighted refer to 'L40'.  Perhaps some header is 
defining that, so you could try

#undef L40

at the head of the file.

Any follow-ups to R-devel please.
