This package built successfully on ubuntu 8.10. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
Since the new method (splitting the files) will fail for anyone not using a very recent linux kernel, I think I should revert to the old consolidated files. I suspect there is little interest from R-core in changing the build script to link the files incrementally (is that possible). To my knowledge no other packages out there have such an insane amount of files. -Whit On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 5:59 PM, Whit Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the link, Prof. Ripley. > >> What I suspect is happening is that there is a link command starting with >> 'g++' that is too long. >> One useful ref: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/argmax > > interesting... > > on my system: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]$ getconf ARG_MAX > 131072 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]$ > > Let me try on another machine w/ a more recent kernel before I take up > more of everyone's time. > > -Whit > ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
