Hello I haven't found better instructions, it's just not an easy thing to do.
You might also consider joining the r-sig-mac group and reviewing threads there for additional information. Rather than try to configure, make and install with one giant command, I'd suggest breaking the task down until you have worked out all the details. Then you can build more routinely with giant commands such as the one you report below. Note that the page of the URL you posted says this: "R on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)" so look around the r.research.att.com website for older 10.4 related instructions. OS X 10.5 is different enough from 10.4 that copying and pasting the 10.5 instructions will not work everywhere. You don't say what kind of computer you have (Intel or PowerPC), if you have a power pc then -arch x86_64 is not right. So do report your hardware configuration as well as your operating system configuration. Try breaking up the build process into steps and review the messages generated at each step. e.g. the configure step: Just do these bits cd rd64 ../R-devel/configure SHELL='/bin/bash' \ r_arch=x86_64 \ CC="gcc -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99" \ CXX="g++ -arch x86_64" \ OBJC="gcc -arch x86_64" \ F77="gfortran -arch x86_64" \ FC="gfortran -arch x86_64" \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-blas='-framework vecLib' \ --with-lapack 1> configure.R.txt 2>&1 The end bits of this version of the configure command redirect output and error messages to a file that you can then read, to see which bits you are missing and which bits cause problems. It's tough to catch those as they scroll by in a terminal window. If configure runs without any signs of trouble, try the make. make 1> make.R.txt 2>&1 Then you can review all the make output for signs of problems and error messages. Here's a configure command that worked for me to build a 64-bit R on 10.4 a while back: ./configure --host=powerpc64-apple-darwin8.10.0 --build=powerpc64-apple-darwin8.10.0 \ --prefix=/usr/local/lib64 'CC=gcc-4.0 -arch ppc64' 'CXX=g++ -arch ppc64' \ 'FC=gfortran-4.0 -arch ppc64' 'F77=gfortran-4.0 -arch ppc64' \ 'CFLAGS=-g -O3 -mtune=G5 -mcpu=G5' 'FFLAGS=-g -O3 -mtune=G5 -mcpu=G5' \ 'LDFLAGS=-arch ppc64 -m64 -L/usr/local/lib' 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O3 -mtune=G5 -mcpu=G5' \ 'FCFLAGS=-g -O3 -mtune=G5 -mcpu=G5' --disable-R-framework --enable-R-shlib \ '--with-blas=-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --without-iconv 1> configure.R.txt 2>&1 and also note that you need to have root privileges when doing the make install, so you either need to run the command as root (not so common on Mac OS X) or run sudo make install and enter your password etc. HTH Steve McKinney -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of joseph Sent: Fri 7/25/2008 5:07 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] 64-bit R on Mac OS X 10.4.5 Hello I have a Mac OS X 10.4.5.
