Hi , Yes you are right the config.guess script inside RPostgreSQL_0.6-2.tar.gz has time stamp of 2011-10-19. But changing this is also giving error " ERROR: 'configure' exists but is not executable -- see the 'R Installation and Administration Manual' ".
Just to note: The same package with same config.guess is getting installed on other system. The problems: To me it looks like hostinfo, /bin/universe and other info are not getting any value during installation, so giving error. Below is error msg. see line between config.guess timestamp = 2011-10-19 uname -m = ppc64le uname -r = 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.ppc64le uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 SMP Thu Dec 28 14:26:44 EST 2017 /usr/bin/uname -p = ppc64le /bin/uname -X = =================THIS INFO IS NOT GETTING VALUE =============================== hostinfo = /bin/universe = /usr/bin/arch -k = /bin/arch = ppc64le /usr/bin/oslevel = /usr/convex/getsysinfo = ================================================== UNAME_MACHINE = ppc64le UNAME_RELEASE = 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.ppc64le UNAME_SYSTEM = Linux UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Thu Dec 28 14:26:44 EST 2017 configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RPostgreSQL' Thanks Awanish 9953328299 -----Original Message----- From: Ben Elliston [mailto:b...@air.net.au] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 1:38 AM To: Kumar, Awanish <awanish.ku...@fisglobal.com> Cc: Earnie <ear...@users.sourceforge.net>; config-patches@gnu.org; Vijayakumar, Vivek Shrinivasan <vivek.vijayaku...@fisglobal.com> Subject: Re: Issue in Config.guess - in system powerpc64le On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 01:17:41PM +0000, Kumar, Awanish wrote: > Or from shell > $R CMD INSTALL RPostgreSQL_0.6-2.tar.gz ##it means installing from > binary file. Are you updating the config.guess script inside the tar file? If not, every time you unpack the distribution tar file, you will get the old version of config.guess.
