Hi! I'm sorry I could not reply on the original message ( https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2015-April/070943.html), while I wasn't a subscriber of the r-devel mail-list. But I got the ./configure to work in the end. See below for the solution.
./configure 'LDFLAGS=-R/glob/jesper/software/bzip2-1.0.6/ -R/glob/jesper/software/zlib-1.2.8 -L/glob/jesper/software/bzip2-1.0.6 -L/glob/jesper/software/zlib-1.2.8 -L/glob/jesper/software/xz-5.2.1/bin/lib/ -R/glob/jesper/software/xz-5.2.1/bin/lib -L/glob/jesper/software/pcre-8.36/build/lib -R/glob/jesper/software/pcre-8.36/build/lib' CFLAGS='-I/glob/jesper/software/bzip2-1.0.6/ -I/glob/jesper/software/zlib-1.2.8/ -I//glob/jesper/software/xz-5.2.1/bin/include/ -I/glob/jesper/software/pcre-8.36/build/include' --without-recommended-packages Jesper [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
