[R] lpSolve doesn't compile because of a malloc.h error

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Isn't the message rather clear?  You need to edit the package sources and 
replace malloc.h by stdlib.h (or remove the former if the latter is 
already there, as in this case).

And BTW, 'gcc-4.2.2' is unreleased, but imminent (as R 2.6.0 is).
