dev-lang/R-2.8.0 failes to build without X support due to a typo in the source code. Error message follows:
platform.c: In function ‘do_capabilities’:
platform.c:1661: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘Rf_checkArityCall’
make[3]: *** [platform.o] Error 1

An attached patch fixes this. Patch is sent upstream.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you very much for your patch and sending it 
upstream. I've just added this to portage since
the source is indeed broken.

cheers,
Markus

Hi, Markus

This bug turns out to be already fixed in their SVN after release was done. So I was just blamed out for unneeded report )). Anyway this is fixed now.
