I'm having a strange problem compiling R4.4.0 on an AlmaLinux9 box. I've compiled previous versions OK on the same hardware/software (last was R4.3.2) but 4.4.0 is repeatedly failing.
Configuration works OK. ./configure --prefix=/bi/apps/R/4.4.0 --enable-R-shlib R is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: .

Nothing strange is in my environment, I'm using the stock version of make and gcc $ which make /usr/bin/make $ which gcc /usr/bin/gcc $ make --version GNU Make 4.3 Built for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 11.4.1 20230605 (Red Hat 11.4.1-2) I can't find any other instances of others hitting the same problem. Any suggestions for what this could be? Thanks Simon.
