Hello,
I am trying to compile a shareware statistical package called "R". The
package needs to compile some fortran sub-routines. On the advice of the
install notes, I ran out and grabbed GNU's g77 fortran compiler. Also on
the advice of the install notes, I used gcc 2.8.1 for my cc compiler, and am
using gmake. gcc and g77 both fail on a few of the objects - ld returns to
me twice with some unresolved .o files. I had the following suggestion from
the support list of "R" users:

Susan,
I compiled R 0.63 on OSF 4.0C using Dec's cc and f2c. I had to install
Gnu's make. I have tried gcc/g77 and have not had much success with it,
and since the cc/f2c combination worked, I stopped there.
I was planning to do 0.63.1 but I'll probably download and try 0.63.2
instead...
If you get the gcc/g77 (or egcs) to work under OSF, I would like to know.
BTW, there was someone else that tipped me onto the cc/f2c combo, but I
can't seem to find his message.
********************************************************
My question is - what is f2c and where do I get it? Also, if anyone else
has ever heard of this "R" software, I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks,
