I asked a question that might help me track down what changed between 2.3.1 that did build and the 2.4.0 version that will not build. Some of the undefined names the linker was complaining about looked like #define symbols that were not picked up by configure. The first thing I was hoping for was to find out if this problem looked familiar? Whether or not, I'm willing to try to work on it, but hope I can get reasonable answers to honest questions....
Dan Saw: IBM employee is unable to make AIX work: so why does he expect us to? in response to: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Unable to build Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 21:42:37 +0200 (CEST) Full_Name: Daniel E. Platt Version: 2.4.0 OS: AIX 5.3 Submission from: (NULL) (129.34.20.23) Did a new build of gcc c,c++,gfortran v4.1.1, (re)built R 2.3.1 using config.site as spec'd in R-admin.pdf in sec C.9 as described by Jagat Sheth, with addition of FC=gfortran (configure tried using f95, which is present on the system, but won't bind with gcc's obj files). Applying the same to 4.1.1 produces the following: make[4]: Leaving directory `/geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/src/library/tools/src' Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so': rtld: 0712-001 Symbol TYPEOF was referenced from module /geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol Rf_error was referenced from module /geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol Rf_asLogical was referenced from module /geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol LENGTH was referenced from module /geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol STRING_ELT was referenced from module /geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so(), bu Execution halted make[3]: *** [all] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/src/library/tools' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/src/library' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/geno4/watplatt/R/R-2.4.0/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 Are there undefined #define's leaking in as code?
