I am installing R 2.15.1 onto RHEL 6, using gcc 4.7.0 with Intel MKL 10.3.7 and the following environment:
export BLAS_LIBS="-Wl,--start-group /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_gf_lp64.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_sequential.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -lpthread" export LAPACK_LIBS="-Wl,--start-group /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_gf_lp64.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_sequential.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -lpthread" ./configure --prefix=/home/software/rhel6/R/2.15.1 \ -with-x=no --with-blas --with-lapack --enable-R-shlib Everything compiles OK, but 'make check' shows some differences. I tried this first with gcc 4.7.0 and then again with gcc 4.4.6 (RHEL 6 installed). Same results. There are differences for the package 'tools', and 'stats'. The first, perhaps, I could ignore because of a change in format, or which packages are getting installed with recommended, but the one for 'stats' seems not benign because it reverses the sign of all the loadings for the third extracted principal component. I would think it reasonable that the Grand Means would agree to four decimal places, also, no? Might anyone have a notion why I am seeing these differences? Copious output follows. Thanks, -- bennet Here are the relevant lines copied from the 'make check': Testing examples for package ‘tools’ comparing ‘tools-Ex.Rout’ to ‘tools-Ex.Rout.save’ ... files differ in number of lines: 811a812,828 > $Depends > [1] "lattice" > > $Installed > [1] "lattice" > > $Found > list() > > $NotFound > character(0) > > $R > [1] "R (>= 2.14.0)" > > attr(,"class") > [1] "DependsList" "list" Testing examples for package ‘stats’ comparing ‘stats-Ex.Rout’ to ‘stats-Ex.Rout.save’ ... 6325c6325 < Grand Mean: 291.5937 --- > Grand Mean: 291.5938 12674c12674 < Murder -0.536 0.418 0.341 0.649 --- > Murder -0.536 0.418 -0.341 0.649 12675c12675 < Assault -0.583 0.188 0.268 -0.743 --- > Assault -0.583 0.188 -0.268 -0.743 12676c12676 < UrbanPop -0.278 -0.873 0.378 0.134 --- > UrbanPop -0.278 -0.873 -0.378 0.134 12677c12677 < Rape -0.543 -0.167 -0.818 --- > Rape -0.543 -0.167 0.818 14358c14358 < Grand Mean: 291.5937 --- > Grand Mean: 291.5938 15446c15446 < Murder -0.54 0.42 0.34 0.65 --- > Murder -0.54 0.42 -0.34 0.65 15447c15447 < Assault -0.58 0.27 -0.74 --- > Assault -0.58 -0.27 -0.74 15448c15448 < UrbanPop -0.28 -0.87 0.38 --- > UrbanPop -0.28 -0.87 -0.38 15449c15449 < Rape -0.54 -0.82 --- > Rape -0.54 0.82 Here is output of 'diff -c' on the example file and the output file generated by this build, edited to remove those that only differ by bytecode: $ diff -c stats-Ex.Rout.save stats-Ex.Rout *** stats-Ex.Rout.save 2012-04-23 18:05:02.000000000 -0400 --- stats-Ex.Rout 2012-08-21 14:45:12.204670303 -0400 *************** *** 1,5 **** !
