Hi all, I just solved a problem installing affy with the native compiler on our alpha boxes. The problem was that R installs using the compiler flag which enforces the preprocessor to use ANSI C, but mas5calls.c from the affy package (version 1.4.27) uses "//" for comments and was therefore not compiled. The problem did not occur on gcc installations. I just removed the ANSI-enforce flag from R's Makeconf. However, wouldn't it be a good plan to check packages for ANSI C compliance to improve cross platform compatibility?

It's a great idea, but we've not had time (or reason) to do it. It's a bit late for the 1.4 release, but if you could email a patch, we could work on getting it in to any updates. best, -tony "Claudio Lottaz" <claudio.lottaz@molgen.mpg.de> writes: > Hi all, > > I just solved a problem installing affy with the native compiler on > our alpha boxes.
