While I recently received some very helpful files and email from Kevin Hendricks for compiling with ATLAS, thought I'd first have a stab at ACML. Having problems, which I suspect are trivial to solve:
1. machine is running RHEL 4, meaning, it uses gcc 3.4.5 out of the box, and g77. In my experience, over-riding RHEL's choice, and manually upgrading to gcc 4.x.x (and, as a consequence gfortran) will cause problems in other areas (but, if other's have done it successfully, with no problems, I'd be willing to try). 2. machine has multiple CPU's (Opteron 880's) - meaning (based on ACML docs), I *should* download and install gfortran64 (which has mp support). However, I don't have gfortran, so...what about 32-bit? Same problem - mp requires gfortran. Hmmm 3. so, download and install gnu64 version of ACML, which is intended for a single processor (ok, so I guess this means I won't be threading jobs over multiple CPU's...fine). Everything installs into opt/acml3.5.0/gnu64... 4. need to fix up library path. Working in a bash shell, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH/opt/acml3.5.0/gnu64/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH Check env - everything seems fine - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is there, and correctly specified 5. cd to R source dir, and run ./configure --with-blas="-lacml" configure runs fine, except that ACML isn't built-in to R, based on the configure output: C compiler: gcc -g -02 -std=gnu99 Fortran 77 compiler: g77-g -02 C++ compiler: g++ -g -02 Fortran 90/95 compiler: g77 -g -02 Interfaces supported: X11 External libraries: readline etc. etc. So, readline is the only external library. 6. ok, look at config.log, Following line looks suspicious: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lacml 7. one final attempt: ./configure --with-blas="-L/opt/acml3.5.0/gnu64/lib -lacml" No change - readline is still the only -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Evan Cooch e.mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Natural Resources voice: 607-255-1368 Fernow Hall - Cornell University FAX: 607-255-0349 Ithaca, NY 14853 http://canuck.dnr.cornell.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The English are not very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity. - George Bernard Shaw ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
