I'm using package Matrix, which I have installed on several flavours of linux
system. But on an important solaris install, I can't make it work.
Initially, I thought the problem was using 'make' instead of 'gmake', but I
masked around that, and still get errors. Those new errors seem to be related
to 'cc' wanting some optional extras that I don't have installed. Any idea what
they are? Or how I can persuade CMD INSTALL to use 'gcc' or something else that
works?
I don't have root privileges on this system, just in case that's important for
the kind of solution you were thinking of.
Here's an example of two kinds of errors I get:
FIRST KIND OF ERROR, WHEN USING 'MAKE':
ces-409034-sdb231: R CMD INSTALL -l ~/R Matrix_0.999375-4.tar.gz
* Installing *source* package 'Matrix' ...
** libs
** arch -
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 9: Unexpected end of line seen
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Matrix'
** Removing '/home/sdb231/R/Matrix'
SECOND KIND OF ERROR, USING 'GMAKE':
ces-409034-sdb231: R CMD INSTALL -l ~/R Matrix_0.999375-4.tar.gz
* Installing *source* package 'Matrix' ...
** libs
** arch -
cc -I/usr/local/R-2.7.1/lib/R/include -I/usr/local/include -I./UFconfig
-g -c CHMfactor.c -o CHMfactor.o
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
gmake: *** [CHMfactor.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Matrix'
