That does not help. The problem has (apparently) nothing to do with /usr/local (and the 32 bit compatibility libraries we have there). > You can also use the --with-readline configure flag to specify the exact > location of the readline library you wish to use. That's it. I need ./configure --prefix=/APPS/Foo/Alpha64 --with-lapack=/usr/lib64/liblapack.so.3 > I hope this helps. Yes it does. Everything seems to work except the rpvm and rcdd contributed packages did not install. Looking at the problem with rcdd, I see what the main problem was all along. On 32 bit you can extract a .o out of a .a to put in a .so. On 64 bit, you can't. It's pickier apparently. The makefile for cddlib doesn't make shared libraries, so I'm out of luck for rcdd on AMD64 until I get that fixed. Now this problem makes a lot more sense. Sorry to be so stupid. I knew you could do --with-lapack=something but forgot (meaning I have a vague recollection of reading about this once, now that I'm reminded of it). Anyway we now have R-2.2.0 alpha on AMD64 on SuSE 9.3 with > dim(installed.packages()) [1] 80 10 Thanks for the help. I still don't understand why gcc -shared even bothers to look in *.a (on AMD64) when it won't do the slightest bit of good. Maybe I'm still ignorant of some important technical issue (maybe? more like with very high probability!) -- Charles Geyer Professor, School of Statistics University of Minnesota [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
