"R Installation and Administration", section 2.5 "Sub-architectures" describes
calling specific builds of R using the call "R --arch=name". I am trying to
build and install three versions of R-2.9.1, each configured with a different
valgrind-instrumentation level ("Writing R Extensions", section 4.3.2 "Using
valgrind"). My goal is to be able to choose which install I launch so that I
can
choose among the valgrind levels with commands such asR --arch=valgrind0 -d valgrind --vanilla < myPkg.R or R --arch=valgrind1 -d valgrind --vanilla < myPkg.R or R --arch=valgrind2 -d valgrind --vanilla < myPkg.R R-2.9.1.tar.gz is unzipped to /usr/local/src/R-2.9.1 and I have tried executing (several variations of) the following code from that directory sudo ./configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=2 r_arch=vg2 --with-recommended-packages=no sudo make sudo make install rhome=/usr/local/lib/R-2.9.1_vg2 sudo ./configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=1 r_arch=vg1 --with-recommended-packages=no sudo make sudo make install rhome=/usr/local/lib/R-2.9.1_vg1 sudo ./configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=0 r_arch=vg0 --with-recommended-packages=no sudo make sudo make install rhome=/usr/local/lib/R-2.9.1_vg0 using this approach the second "sudo make" results in error. I also tried installing from three seperate copies of the R-2.9.1 directory i.e. from /usr/local/src/R-2.9.1_valgrind0 /usr/local/src/R-2.9.1_valgrind1 /usr/local/src/R-2.9.1_valgrind2 with this set up the above code runs without error and the shell command "R --arch=valgrind0" works (level zero being the level used in the most recent install) but the shell commands "R --arch=valgrind1" and "R --arch=valgrind2" result in error messages. I can't figure out how to get this working, although it seems perfectly natural to want to do this. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction and perhaps a workable example could be added to the "R Installation and Administration" document too. I am running a recent install of Ubuntu (Jaunty) on a 32 bit laptop with all previous R installations removed / uninstalled. thanks David ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
