With a recent SVN build (R Under development (unstable) (2013-07-10 r63264) -- "Unsuffered Consequences"), I'm having trouble installing the robustbase package. The bottom line is that I *think* it's a 32-bit-system problem, but I could easily be mistaken.
robustbase is passing its package checks: http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_robustbase.html ... but from the names of the targets it doesn't look like it is tested on 32-bit platforms? The error is: gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/local/lib/R/include -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include -fpic -g -O2 -c init.c -o init.o In file included from init.c:3: robustbase.h:20: error: redefinition of typedef ‘R_xlen_t’ /usr/local/lib/R/include/Rinternals.h:69: note: previous declaration of ‘R_xlen_t’ was here As far as I can see there isn't any junk left over in my systems from previous installs. Rinternals.h has #ifdef LONG_VECTOR_SUPPORT typedef ptrdiff_t R_xlen_t; typedef struct { R_xlen_t lv_length, lv_truelength; } R_long_vec_hdr_t; # define R_XLEN_T_MAX 4503599627370496 # define R_SHORT_LEN_MAX 2147483647 # define R_LONG_VEC_TOKEN -1 #else typedef int R_xlen_t; # define R_XLEN_T_MAX R_LEN_T_MAX #endif while robustbase has #ifndef LONG_VECTOR_SUPPORT # ifndef XLENGTH // for R <= 2.15.x : # define XLENGTH(x) LENGTH(x) typedef int R_xlen_t; # endif #endif It seems the problem is that I have #define SIZEOF_SIZE_T 4 in my config.log , which in turn turns off LONG_VECTOR_SUPPORT, which is otherwise (?) assumed only to be true for R<=2.15.x ... can this be because I'm on 32-bit Linux , or on old linux with gcc 4.4.3, or ... ? <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/918787/whats-sizeofsize-t-on-32-bit-vs-the-various-64-bit-data-models> Can anyone confirm/enlighten me? cheers Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
