Hi, I attempted to build R-2.3.1 with gcc and g77 version 3.4.4 on a cluster that runs Red Hat AS 4. The configuration step went through without any problem,
***** R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -g -O2 -std=gnu99 Fortran 77 compiler: g77 -g -O2 C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2 Fortran 90/95 compiler: g77 -g -O2 Interfaces supported: X11 External libraries: readline Additional capabilities: iconv, MBCS, NLS Options enabled: R profiling Recommended packages: yes **** But when I tried to run "make" or "make distclean", the process went into an infinite loop. Has anyone built R-2.3.1 with gcc and g77 3.4.4? If yes, can you share your experience on this? Thanks! I have successfully built R-2.2.1 on the same machine with same version of gcc and g77 few months ago. So it seems odd that R-2.3.1 build failed. Is there any change in R-2.3.1 that I should use newer version of compiler? any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Here are some OS and compiler info: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2) $ uname -a Linux node1 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 18:00:54 EDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix $ g77 -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2) Regards, Jennifer ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
