Package: r-base-dev
Version: 2.7.1-2
Severity: important

When installing an R package it fails to create the .so file. This
happens with my own packages, as well as any I download from CRAN, for
example I have the problem with MCMCpack:

% R CMD INSTALL -l ./lib MCMCpack
g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 
-DHAVE_TRUNC        -fpic  -g -O2 -c MCMCprobitres.cc -o MCMCprobitres.o
g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 
-DHAVE_TRUNC        -fpic  -g -O2 -c MCMCregress.cc -o MCMCregress.o
make: `MCMCSVDreg.o' is up to date.
g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 
-DHAVE_TRUNC        -fpic  -g -O2 -c MCMCtobit.cc -o MCMCtobit.o
cp: cannot stat `*.so': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/tmp/lib/MCMCpack/libs/*': No such file or directory
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'MCMCpack'
** Removing '/tmp/lib/MCMCpack'

Note that it is missing the usual link line that would be something like:

g++ -shared -Wl,-O1 -o MCMCpack.so ...

I haven't changed any of the R configuration files, and it doesn't
even work on my R package's src directory when I leave out the
Makevars file altogether. Not sure if this is a problem with the
Debian version or an issue upstream.
