[Rd] Alpha and Beta testing of R versions

2005-11-04 Thread David Meyer
[...] Maybe we (the R-foundation) should give serious thoughts to offer prizes for valid bug reports during alpha and beta testing. These could include - Reduced fee for 'useR' and 'DSC' conferences - being listed as helpful person in R's 'THANKS' file {but that may not entice those who

Hello, I am trying to compile R-2.2.0 on Slackware 10.2. I did ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i486-slackware-linux. It went off without any problem and gave this configure status: R is now configured for i486-slackware-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory:

This an error in a standard system header file /usr/include/errno.h, not something we can help with. However, is --build=i486-slackware-linux actually correct? Our manuals do not suggest you specify --build, and if incorrect it might just explain this. On Fri, 4 Nov 2005, R S Ananda Murthy

Recently I have added a lib.loc argument to require, so that it is more consistent with library. However, there are some oddities that folks have pointed out, and we do not have a documented description of the semantics for what should happen when the lib.loc parameter is provided.
