Thanks for the suggestion. this package was building successfully

I suspect it's a hard limit in the linux kernel.

since R CMD check is generating the actual commands that are passed to
bash, it's a little out of my control (unless I write my own config
script, which I do not want to do).
Well 'R CMD check' is not doing so: perhaps SHLIB called by INSTALL is.
What I suspect is happening is that there is a link command starting with
'g++' that is too long.
POSIX requires at least 4096 arguments (which you will exceed), but Linux
2.6 seems to have a limit of much more (unlimited in the current kernel,
which yours is not, 32767 in 2.16.14). It is more likely that you are
hititng the length limit for the command line, and one way out is to use
short file names.
One useful ref: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/argmax
Note that having all the functions in one file can help the optimizer, but
there is another possibility, to have several files of closely related
functions.

Yeah, error 127 indicates that make can't find a program that it needs to
run a command. My guess would be that she doesn't have g++ installed
(some distributions package it separately from gcc so it is possible to
have the c compiler installed but not the c++ compiler)
Maybe it will be worthwhile to check if you have installed every required
header files or needed compilers/libraries.
But as I mentioned, this is just a suggestion.
Cheers,

Whit Armstrong a écrit :
I love xargs for all kinds of stuff, but I really don't want to write
my own configure script.
looks like simple solution is to recombine into one big source file
rather than splitting each function out. pita...

Since, gcc was using upwards of 2gb of ram to compile my package, I
just split all the functions into individual files.
I guess I'm too clever for myself, because now I get hit with the
"Argument list too long" error.
Is there a way to deal with this aside from writing my own configure
script (which could possibly feed the gcc commands one by one).
