There is something with the hurd ld.so, but I do not know, what. But I 

1) run 'make test' with --gui=none. It went up till dies with
 
> library("eda") # returns invisibly
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : 
	unable to load shared library "/home/zs/R-1.1.1/library/eda/libs/eda.so":
  /home/zs/R-1.1.1/library/eda/libs/eda.so: undefined symbol: R_rsort
Error in library("eda") : .First.lib failed
Execution halted

Everything goes well in Linux with the same source (R-1.1.1)

2) compared the configure.log-s from the Hurd and Linux. There are similar
errors in both (due to the missing tcl/tk and atlas [what is this? I have not
found it anywhere] libraries, and that ld can not find -lmoto and -lz, and
others), but also ones special to the Hurd. Here they are:

--
configure:7358: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
configure:7358: for each function it appears in.)
configure:7358: parse error before `me'
configure: failed program was:
#line 7343 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* System header to define __stub macros and hopefully few prototypes,
--
int main() {

/* The GNU C library defines this for functions which it implements
    to always fail with ENOSYS.  Some functions are actually named
    something starting with __ and the normal name is an alias.  */
#if defined (__stub_shmat) || defined (__stub___shmat)
choke me
--
configure:7406: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include  conftest.c -lipc  -ldl -lncurses -lm -L/usr/local/lib 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lipc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 7395 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */


3) sent a message to the Hurd folks. One reply was this:

<quote on>

The correct linker options for this sort of issue are the same as on Linux.
Perhaps their build scripts behave differently on Linux than on Hurd.  It
sounds like they expect to link the main executable with --export-dynamic
(aka -E).  Use nm --dynamic or objdump --dynamic-syms to see what symbols
are defined in the executable on Linux and on Hurd.

<quote off>

I did this (nm) for both the Hurd and Linux. The resulting list is significantly
different, with a 33k list for Linux and a 3k list for the Hurd. I enclose the
latter (I suppose the previous is correct and reproducible).

General remark:

I use Debian 2.2 (potato) with the stable tools. The hurd uses woody tools.
The only difference apart from this that I use f2c in Linux, bug f77 in the
Hurd. (I will try f2s on the Hurd as well)

Next step?

Thanks,
Zsombor
