I have never used plr, but tried building it against 2.8 (CRAN version
2.8.1-1~etchcran.0) right now in an etch vserver, and it failed.
Should I report it to the plr mailing list?
No. I can reproduce this problem which is caused by the fact that
the r-base-core package is lacking /usr/share/R/includes/Rdevices.h .
I will reassign the bug report to this package.
Thanks for getting this back into Debian - at first I thought I would
have to build it myself...
You can work around this problem for your local installation by just
copying src/include/Rdevices.h into the plr source directory. The
you can build the package for the moment.
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/local/src/plr/plr-8.3.0.6'
sed 's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$libdir/plr,g' plr.sql.in >plr.sql
cc -g -Wall -O2 -fpic -I"." -I"/usr/lib/R/include"
-I/usr/share/R/include -I. -I/usr/include/postgresql/8.3/server
-I/usr/include/postgresql/internal
-DPKGLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/lib\" -DDLSUFFIX=\".so\"
-DR_HOME_DEFAULT=\"/usr/lib/R\" -c -o plr.o plr.c
In file included from plr.c:33:
plr.h:61:22: error: Rdevices.h: No such file or directory
--> here you can see the problem.
BTW, if you detect a bug which prevents to build a package from source
it is definitely higher than wishlist. In most cases it is an RC
critical bug. If you are unsure you can set it at least to normal.
If I reassign the package to r-base-core it is not RC for this package
but at least important because of the problem it causes for plr.
Kind regards and thanks for your bug report
Andreas.
PS: Sorry for the late reply - normally I'm a bit faster ...
