As you can see it compiles using the wrong architecture:

In my file "config.in" I have the following lines:

Thus I assume that I need to use 64 bit R so that the flags are set correctly. Is this correct?

This is probably because you are using the CRAN binary which is a universal binary. Specifically this means that it will try to compile the package for all architectures,

Nope - see above - it has a configure. He's simply running the wrong architecture. With the proper binary
R --arch=x86_64 CMD INSTALL ...
will do the trick.

Cheers,
Simon


which will fail because ROOT is only installed for one of the architectures. This will happen for any package with C code you install from source, try picking your favorite R package with C code (say, preprocessCore), set options(pkgType = "source") and install it using biocLite. You will see several compilation runs.

There are a hack to fix this, and there may be an official way to compile a package only for a specific architecture, which I don't know about.

The hack: inside (this is for 2.11)
 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11/Resources/bin/exec/
you will see a list of subdirectories describing what architecture you have R compiled for. If you remove all the other architectures aside from x86_64 it might work. This might mess up your R.app though.

Alternatively you could compile R from source, only for one architecture. This is what I do.

Kasper


If yes, can I use: 
http://r.research.att.com/R-GUI-5548-2.10-leopard-Leopard64.dmg
or do I need to build 64 bit R from source?

Dear Simon,

Thank you, with this version I could finally compile ROOT as 64 bit.

Now I have one more question:
When I do "R CMD Install xps.tar.gz" which now depends on 64 bit ROOT, do I need to install the 64 bit version of R or can I use the current R version?



I have no idea since I don't know your package. If you *link* to ROOT then yes, you have to use 64-bit R to load 64-bit code. (Linking in itself can be quite interesting given the flags ROOT uses, so your journey may not end there ;)).

Simon

Dear Simon,

Thank you for your suggestions, which I have just tried. Sadly the error remains the same.

The problem seems to be that for some reason "gfortran-4.2-5564- darwin9.tar.gz" does not have a "/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple- darwin9/4.2.1/x86_64" directory containing libgfortranbegin.a. For this reason the 64 bit version of libgfortranbegin.a is not installed in the corresponding directory x86_64 which contains only libgcc.a etc.


Oh ... that's a surprise - it should be there, sorry. Ok, so please use the more recent 5566 build:
http://r.research.att.com/tools/gfortran-4.2-5566-darwin9.tar.gz

that one has the x86_64 files - I checked:
ginaz:~$ curl -s -S http://r.research.att.com/tools/gfortran-4.2-5566-darwin9.tar.gz | tar fvtz - | grep gfortran.a -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 3592608 2008-12-24 14:51:33 usr/lib/gcc/ i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortran.a -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 3870032 2008-12-24 14:51:33 usr/lib/gcc/ powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortran.a -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 5002152 2008-12-24 14:51:33 usr/lib/gcc/ i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/x86_64/libgfortran.a

(Ideally you should install Xcode 3.1.2 for this since that is where the 5566 build comes from, but it will probably work even if the builds don't match perfectly).

Cheers,
Simon




You can see this by double-clicking on "gfortran-4.2-5564- darwin9.tar.gz" when located in some directory.

In contrast, "gfortran-4.2.3.dmg" did install libgfortranbegin.a in the "/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple- darwin9/4.2.1/x86_64" directory.

Could you please check or tell me what the reason might be?

I have installed it using:
$ gunzip gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xvf gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar -C /

Dear Kasper,

You are right. Since ROOT supports the CC, CXX, F77 and LD flags I did: ./configure macosx64 --with-cxx="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" --with-f77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64"



You don't really need the override - it works without and they add -m64 anyway so the -arch gets essentially ignored.




The error was still the same:
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.2.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory

However, when I replaced in the Makefile.macosx64:
F77LIBS := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file- name=libgfortran.dylib) F77LIBS += $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file- name=libgfortranbegin.a)
with:
F77LIBS := $(shell $(F77) -m64 -print-file- name=libgfortranbegin.a)


You found the right spot but your fix is wrong - just remove the two lines, they are superfluous and only cause trouble.




the error disappeared, and I could finish the compilation.

However, now I got a link-error:
ld warning: in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/ libgfortranbegin.a, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
"_main", referenced from:
start in crt1.10.5.o



Your'e getting the 32-bit version (of the wrong file - see above). It should really be ../4.2.1/x86_64/lib...




I am not sure what this error means since Makefile.macosx64 contains:
F77FLAGS      = -m64 -std=legacy

Could it be that libgfortranbegin.a can only be used for 32bit compilation?



No, you're picking the wrong one - there is one for each architecture.




Furthermore, I still have the question (and hopefully Simon will answer it): Why does gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz not contain any libgfortran.dylib files?



Because it's using a static library.




Interestingly, when googling "/usr/lib/libgfortran.dylib" I get the answer that NO results were found, while googling "/ usr/local/lib/libgfortran.dylib" gives many results. Thus it seems that there will never be any libgfortran.dylib in "/usr/ lib/"!?


Nope - OS X has no Fortran by default.

Simon





I must admit that I do not understand this issue.

Dear Kasper,

Thank you for your suggestion, I did indeed use gcc 4.0.
Since gcc_select does no longer exist on Leopard I had to do:
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s gcc-4.2 gcc
sudo ln -s g++-4.2 g++
sudo ln -s gcov-4.2 gcov


I am not sure this is advisable in general. When I compile stuff with gcc-4.2 I usually explicitly set
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
when I run configure. For example, my entire configure line for R on my macbook is
../${SRCDIR}/configure SHELL='/bin/bash' \
       CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99" \
       CFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=gnu99 -march=nocona" \
       CXX="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
       CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
       OBJC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
       F77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
       FFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
       FC="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
       FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
--x-includes=/usr/X11/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11/ lib \
       --with-system-zlib \
       --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack
Of course this requires that ROOT uses the CC/CFLAGS macros, but that should be pretty standard if it uses autoconf.



Sadly, compiling ROOT resulted still in the same error:
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.2.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory

When I check the location for gfortran-4.2.3.dmg I get:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/../../../ x86_64
$ ls -al

This means that /usr/local/bin does contain libgfortran.dylib whereas /usr/bin does not contain any of these files or links. Does this mean that gfortran-4.2.3.dmg does contain these file for libgfortran.dylib while gfortran-4.2-5564- darwin9.tar.gz does not contain these files?
How do I get libgfortran.dylib?


Simon might be able to answer this better, but the general idea is that the

gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz


installs into /usr/bin


gfortran-4.2.3.dmg


installs into /usr/local/bin. There is some logic here, the way I think about it is that the former is a direct extension of the Apple build.

I would start from scratch, which means remove all traces of both gfortrans, install the 5564-tarball and then set the various macros as I have set it above for R (your exact values may of course be different depending on what machine etc. you are using).

Kasper




BTW, I must apologize to Simon. On his website he lists the commands how to install gfortran.tar.gz, but in the Tiger section, so I did miss it. Nevertheless it would still be helpful for Mac users to know how to uninstall it: $ tar -tf gfortran.tar | sort -r | (cd /; xargs -p -n 1 rm - d)

Remember that Apple has two version of GCC on Leopard: 4.0 and 4.2. You are using 4.0, you might want to switch to 4.2. In Tiger there used to be gcc_select (or select_gcc) that let you choose between 3.x and 4.0, I don't remember if that is still around on Leopard.

The error seems to indicate that you need 4.2 in order to use Simon's gfortran.

Dear Simon,

Thank you for this information.

Now I have installed gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz on Leopard and tried to compile ROOT again, but this time I got the following error: g++ -dynamiclib -single_module -undefined dynamic_lookup - install_name @rpath/libminicern.so -O2 -m64 -o lib/ libminicern.so misc/minicern/src/cernlib.o -ldl misc/ minicern/src/hbook.o misc/minicern/src/kernlib.o misc/ minicern/src/zebra.o libgfortran.dylib /usr/lib/gcc/i686- apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgfortranbegin.a i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1: libgfortran.dylib: No such file or directory

I know that this is not necessarily an R-related question but I would greatly appreciate your help if possible (at least it is a Mac- and somehow a BioC-related question).

When I have tried to compile ROOT with gfortran-4.2.3.dmg I got the following error: gfortran -O2 -m64 -o bin/g2root main/src/g2root.o -Llib lib/libminicern.so /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple- darwin8/4.2.3/../../../x86_64/libgfortran.dylib /usr/ local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/x86_64/ libgfortranbegin.a -lm -Wl,-rpath,@loader_path/../lib - pthread -ldl ld: -rpath can only be used when targeting Mac OS X 10.5 or later

As you can see gfortran-4.2.3 could find libgfortran.dylib at: /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/../../../ x86_64/libgfortran.dylib while gfortran-4.2.4 could not find libgfortran.dylib.

Thus maybe I did make a mistake when installing gfortran-4.2.4. Here is what I did:
$ gunzip gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xvf gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar -C /
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 /usr/bin/gfortran

Do you know what I need to do so that libgfortran.dylib can be found?

P.S.:Since many Mac users are no Unix experts please allow me to suggest to place on your website the commands to install/uninstall gfortran. I have found the following website, which told me how to install gfortran and how I could uninstall it:
http://www.webmo.net/support/fortran_osx.html

Thank you in advance.

Dear Simon,

One more question:
I have just unzipped gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz. The version gives:

This means that this version seems to be older than the one I am using now?



No, that is GNU Fortran 4.2.4 that I was referring to. The "gcc version 4.2.1" comes from Apple's Xcode 3.1 gcc-4.2 branch since that is what they define - it just adds Fortran support to the existing gcc 4.2.1 branch of Apple that you installed as Xcode. However, the Fortran part is merged from the GNU Fortran 4.2.4 release - hence I refer to it as 4.2.4.

Cheers,
Simon

Dear all,

I have the following problem:
My Bioconductor package xps requires both R and ROOT, whereby I compile ROOT usually from source. Until now this has not been a problem since I do all my development on Tiger. However, now I wanted to compile ROOT on Leopard but failed since my gfortran compiler is too old, see: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9721&sid=003b01ddb64f33dbe0c74651ee089c34 To solve the problem I should upgrade to the latest version coming with gcc-4.4 in Fink.


I would advise against that - using gcc from Fink usually calls for a disaster. The real solution is to fix their flags, but that's another story ...




Thus my question is:
Can I also use this version for R or do I need to use the version downloaded from att?



I would recommend using the Leopard gfortran 4.2.4 for Xcode 3.1.x from the Mac devel page
http://r.research.att.com/tools/
which I assume is what you meant by the latter.

Cheers,
Simon
