Hello,
I am trying to compile R-2.9.1 on Mac OS-X 10.4 using --enable-R-
shlib.
I am not comfortable with Mac/Linux environments and trying to
follow the
instructions from CRAN site to every detail.
The Mac OS did not have a gcc (gcc -version did not work). So I did
the
following:
## For gcc 4.2 and Fortran 4.2.4 Compilers
Download gcc-4.2-5566-darwin8-all.tar.gz from
http://r.research.att.com/tools/#gcc42
unpacked using: sudo tar fvxz gcc-4.2-5566-darwin8-all.tar.gz -C /
Made gcc-4.2 default: sudo link gcc-4.2 gcc
Made g++-4.2 default: sudo link g++-4.2 g++
I downloaded the source and tried compiling using:
./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-ICU \
--with-aqua --enable-R-framework --enable-R-shlib
Got the following error:
Configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
I have attached the compile.log file.
I would really appreciate some help.
The log file did not survive the list spam filters, but is there a
particular reason that you are compiling from source?
A universal binary installation package (which is built using --enable-
R-shlib) is available from a CRAN mirror such as:
http://cran.us.r-project.org/
You might want to review the OSX FAQ as well:
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html
If you really need to build from source, which is not for the feint of
heart, begin by reviewing section 2 of the FAQ.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
