Subject: [Rd] linker errors on ia64: open.o: @gprel relocation against
	dynamic symbol f__buflen
Message-ID: <200403261510.20343.horbelt@physik.uni-freiburg.de>

hello,
I just failed to compile R 1.8.1 and also the latest beta 
R-1.9.0beta_2004-03-22.tar.gz
on an ia64 architecture. When it comes to linking the Lapack 
library, the following error occurs six times:
/usr/bin/ld: open.o: @gprel relocation against dynamic symbol 
f__buflen

Here is some diagnostic information.

uname -a
Linux hippo 2.4.21-sgi230rp03111013_10029 #1 SMP 
Mon Nov 10 13:25:42 PST 2003 ia64 unknown

gcc --version
2.96

g77 --version
GNU Fortran 0.5.26 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-118.7.2)

I can produce the same error messages with the following simpler 
steps:

cat >tst.f <<EOF
      SUBROUTINE DLAMC2( )
      WRITE( 6, * ) 'SOME STRING'
      RETURN
      END
EOF
g77 -c tst.f -o tst.o
gcc -shared tst.o -lg2c

Is it possible to compile R with gcc 2.96?

thanks in advance
werner
