I think the official procedures are to either 1) build the tarball according to the usual instructions 2) download the SRPM and use rpmbuild --rebuild on that Can you check 1) works and if so try 2)? The error message suggests that either the wrong R is being picked up or that makeLazyLoading has indeed been run on the tools package. I don't know that it matters, but I would check that R_HOME was not set in the build environment. > 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 > > ??
