I'm trying to build an RPM of R 2.3.1 on a very old RedHat system (specifically, a ROCKS 3.3.0 cluster which is built on RH enterprise 3 (I think??))
I downloaded R-2.3.1.tgz from CRAN; downloaded the R.spec file cran.r-project.org/http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/SRPMS/ ; and ran rpmbuild -ba R.specs. Everything goes along fine until ... make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/src/library/tools/src' gcc -I../../../../include -I../../../../include -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c text.c -o text.o gcc -I../../../../include -I../../../../include -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c init.c -o init.o gcc -I../../../../include -I../../../../include -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c Rmd5.c -o Rmd5.o gcc -I../../../../include -I../../../../include -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c md5.c -o md5.o gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o tools.so text.o init.o Rmd5.o md5.o -L../../../../lib -lR mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/tools/libs make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/src/library/tools/src' make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/src/library/tools/src' Warning message: package seems to be using lazy loading already in: makeLazyLoading("tools") Error in lazyLoadDBfetch(key, datafile, compressed, envhook) : internal error in R_decompress1 Execution halted Thereafter, going to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/src/library/tools and executing "make" gives essentially the same result. digging deeper finds the error message within library/tools/R/makeLazyLoad.R: if (file.info(codeFile)["size"] == file.info(loaderFile)["size"]) warning("package seems to be using lazy loading already") hacking this file to produce more output identifies codeFile as /usr/lib/R/library/tools/R/tools and loaderFile as below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tools]# ls -l /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/share/R/nspackloader.R -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 384 Jul 18 18:29 /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/R-2.3.1/share/R/nspackloader.R [EMAIL PROTECTED] tools]# ls -l /usr/lib/R/library/tools/R/tools -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 384 Jul 18 17:33 /usr/lib/R/library/tools/R/tools ?? I am at the edge of my comprehension here ... Searching for "R_decompress1", "internal error", etc., on Google/RSiteSearch gave nothing Searching on "package seems to be using lazy loading already" finds a few old hits, but no solutions. I have 252M free space (the first time this happened I had only 50M ...) Could this possibly be related to having another (old) instance of R running at the same time? Seems unlikely but ... does anyone have any hints? sincerely Ben Bolker -- 620B Bartram Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zoology Department, University of Florida http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker Box 118525 (ph) 352-392-5697 Gainesville, FL 32611-8525 (fax) 352-392-3704 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
