Hi, I've reached about 20 attempts hand compiling R-4.3.3 on my debian bookworm box. My configure directive is:
./configure --prefix=/opt/R-4.3.3 --enable-R-shlib --enable-memory-profiling --with-tcltk --enable-threads=posix --with-blas="-lmkl_rt" --with-lapack In contrast to Dirk's solution, I've found R's configure script doesn't recognise the update-alternatives system on debian/ubuntu, if it's MKL. In fact, of all the blas libraries, R's configure script pays least attention to MKL, and is happier with OpenBLAS and even BLIS which is relatively recent. However, on MKL it fails at BLAS zdotu (double complex BLAS), but not at dgemm_, which IS found in libmkl_rt. Using bash command "nm" on libmkl_rt.so, both dgemm and zdotu symbols are there, so I'm finding it hard to understand why it can't find zdotu. appending "-lmkl_gf_lp64" to the --with-blas option does not help (that's suggested by several posts out there). So unfortunately, I've taken to hand editing the configure script .. a sure sign of desperation ... and of course that's not going to work. Any suggestions welcome, thanks in advance.
