I hope someone can point me, a newcomer to building R as well as 64-bit R, in
a useful direction. I have a dual Opteron 275 box running RedHat EL4. I ran
configure successfully, and, then, get the following error while running make:
make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/R-2.2.0/src/modules/lapack'

relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC

value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libRlapack.so] Error 1
I am confused by the error message "recompile with -fPIC" since it looks like
all the lapack routines are already being compiled with -fPIC. I did struggle
with getting all the right development packages installed, so maybe I am
missing some critical package?
Any help, suggestions, or pointers to 64-bit RedHat EL4 would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Dick
