Today I installed the newest R develepment branch
R version 2.14.0 Under development (unstable) (2011-03-18 r54866)
on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64). All seems fine so far.
But that is very raw: testing on 2.13.0 alpha would be more useful at
this point.
Yes, it is raw. But I need it for some reason.
Testing of 2.13.0 alpha (r54865) on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT (amd64) shows no
problems so far. For testing purposes, I customized the port math/R from
b.f. and built from that port, so R installed correct on FreeBSD with
gcc45 and gfortran45.
As to be expected, I had no problems with R packages using pythag on
2.13.0 alpha. All needed packages could beinstalled. Also, some of my
more complicated R scripts (with database access, spatial computings and
pdf production) work fine.
After that I updated my R packages with option 'checkBuilt=TRUE'.
There are four packages (spatstat, pscl, adehabitatLT, adehabitatHR)
which gives an error like this:
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

Searching around I found a hint in
http://developer.r-project.org/R_svnlog_2011 about upcoming changes
with 'Rf_pythag':

keep Rf_pythag for a little longer

R News of newest devel has three entries about the change:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.14.0:
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
o The entry point pythag formerly in Rmath.h is defunct: use
instead the C99 function hypot.
CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.13.0:
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
o pythag duplicated the C99 function hypot. It is no longer
provided, but is used a substitute for hypot in the very unlikely
event that the latter is not available.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT:
o The entry point pythag in Rmath.h is deprecated in favour of the
C99 function hypot. A wrapper for hypot is provided for R 2.13.x
only.
Because of that informations I attempted to change 'pythag' against
'hypot' in spatstat/src/lookup.c and it works. Is this the only
required adaption which has to be done on the four named packages?
For adehabitatLT, adehabitatHR, simply update. For pscl, spatstat,
change pythag to hypot -- the maintainers have been asked for updates.
Ok, as I suspected. You had been aware of these packages before ;-)
You can see CRAN R-devel test results on the CRAN check page. There are
a number of other failures due to deprecated -> defunct changes (we make
them very early in the development cycle).
I know of this page. It is very useful for identifying problems with
packages, especially on Windows, Linux, OSX and Solaris. Understandably
it does not support my 'rare' platform FreeBSD directly ;-)
Thanks for anwsering and clearing up my request,
Rainer Hurling
