Compiling with icc on linux

[Bertrand Servin]

Hi,

I am trying to install the uuid package on a Debian testing, with R compiled with icc. I get the following errors:

`

Any clues on how to solve this ?
thanks for your work and help :)

Same bug - due to it cannot install IRkernel :( Shame on you uiid

[Javier Cervantes]

Any news about this problem?

[Jeff Hanson]

Any updates?

Still need this fix as well. It's a shame to not see any response from the developer on this. We were able to get it compiled by removing the -std=c99 flag and letting it default.

As the errors suggest, the system or compiler is missing definitions in headers. Since icc is commercial there is nothing we can do, ask Intel for support.
