Trying to find a novel about a stranded astronaut...

Possibly published late seventies, it tells the story of a crash-landed or stranded explorer and his survival on an alien planet, it charts his attempts to use local resources to survive after his supplies run out and ends with the alien organisms taking him over but as I recall he doesn't survive. Ring any bells?
