Just in case others make my mistake, the problem was that I had a .R directory in my home directory, which had a Makevars file in it with CC=gcc. I don't remember why I had this, but it was being read for package building and throwing everything out.

But it still doesn't seem to compile the packages. Here is the approach I have taken, on a freshly untarred directory: edit site.config so that it contains: CC=icc CFLAGS="-g -O3 -wd188 -ip" F77=ifort FFLAGS="-g -O3" ICC_LIBS=/opt/intel/cce/10.1.012/lib IFC_LIBS=/opt/intel/fce/10.1.012/lib/ LDFLAGS="-L$ICC_LIBS -L$IFC_LIBS -L/usr/lib64" CXX=icpc CXXFLAGS="-g -O3" FC=ifort FCFLAGS="-g -O3 -mp" Run configure like: ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware/R/R-2.6.2/ This results in: R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Source directory: .

The only reference to gcc I could find was OBJC = gcc Could this be a problem? I tried changing this to icc -c99 but this made no difference. Since it seems to work for other users, I assume there is something in my setup that is preventing it from working, though I am not sure where to look. PATH and other environment variables look okay. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Check what CC is set to in etc/Makeconf, and if it is not 'icc -c99', reset it.
