[1] "R version 2.5.0 beta (2007-04-09 r41098)"
I didn't do anything special, just ./configure and make. I am just
rebuild and here is the configure output. (I can never find this
information if I don't save it. Where is it saved?)
R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /usr/local
C compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2
Fortran 77 compiler: g77 -g -O2
C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2
Fortran 90/95 compiler: g77 -g -O2
Obj-C compiler: -g -O2
Interfaces supported: X11, tcltk
External libraries: readline
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling
Recommended packages: yes
configure: WARNING: you cannot build info or HTML versions of the R manuals
I suppose there are some more details about my configuration I need to
find somewhere.
