You're confusing rhome and arch - the above makes no sense. Let rhome alone and you should be fine. (And make sure you're not building in the source tree - you should be using something like mkdir obj_vg0 && cd obj_vg0 && ../R-2.9.1/configure ...)
Thanks Simon. I'd already tried various variations with rhome and arch, but I think my biggest error was that I was always compiling from within the source tree. However, the following script still doesn't quite do the job
cd /usr/local/lib mkdir R-2.9.2_vg0 mkdir R-2.9.2_vg1 mkdir R-2.9.2_vg2 cd /usr/local/lib/R-2.9.2_vg2 sudo /usr/local/src/R-2.9.2/configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=2 r_arch=vg2 sudo make sudo make install cd /usr/local/lib/R-2.9.2_vg1 sudo /usr/local/src/R-2.9.2/configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=1 r_arch=vg1 sudo make sudo make install cd /usr/local/lib/R-2.9.2_vg0 sudo /usr/local/src/R-2.9.2/configure --enable-memory-profiling --with-valgrind-instrumentation=0 r_arch=vg0 sudo make sudo make latex sudo make dvi sudo make pdf sudo make info sudo make help sudo make html sudo make uninstall sudo make install Now the command "R --arch=vg0" executes fine, but... da...@david > R --arch=vg1 /usr/local/bin/R: line 230: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/vg1/R: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/R: line 230: exec: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/vg1/R: cannot execute: No such file or directory da...@david > R --arch=vg2 /usr/local/bin/R: line 230: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/vg2/R: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/R: line 230: exec: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/vg2/R: cannot execute: No such file or directory is suspect installing to seperate _vg0, _vg1 and _vg2 directories could be the problem. I'll retry and post the results. David ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
