Hello,
I'm attempting to build R on Solaris 64-bit using gcc4, and am running
into the following error:
ld.so.1: R: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_PC32: file
/home/chander.ganesan/src/r/R-2.15.0/lib/libR.so: symbol main: value
0x28001597b8c does not fit
I've noticed - from some lists, and a bug here
(http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9040) that this isn't an
unexpected issue - but I'm wondering if anyone has a fix for it? If not,
would someone be willing to develop a permanent fix for it (which I
believe I could fund, within reason.)
Thank You
R's own documentation has had workarounds for some time: please study
the R-admin manual. I built R-patched using 4.7.0 this morning on
both Solaris 64-bit) platforms (x64 and Sparc).
I did look there - and followed the instructions therein (followed by
numerous variants of it based on google searches, etc.) I don't recall
seeing any mention of R-patched in the documentation, but I suppose I
could have missed that somehow. IIRC that document indicates that R
doesn't build 64-bit using gcc, but I also couldn't get it to work with
Sun Studio 12.3 compilers.
You do not say what version of R you are trying: I vaguely recall an
improvement here since 2.15.0 so suggest you try R-patched (and read
its manual). It also looks as if you are building R as a shared
library, which is not the default and it might be better to try the
defaults first.
I was using 2.15 - but with R_patched I'm still having some issue.
Could you possibly send me the arguments you are using with configure to
build on solaris x64 ?
Thank You
