I'm running debian stable, with the addition of tcl8.4-dev, tk8.4-dev from testing.
debian/rules build gives this ... gcc -shared -o methods.so do_substitute_direct.o methods_list_dispatch.o method_meta_data.o slot.o class_support.o tests.o -L../../../../bin -lR mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/methods/libs make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library/methods/src' make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library/methods/src' make[5]: Entering directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library/methods' dumping R code in package 'methods' initializing class and method definitions now ...Error in .Call("R_methodsPackageMetaName", prefix, name, PACKAGE = "methods") : .Call function name not in load table Execution halted make[5]: *** [../../../library/methods/R/all.rda] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library/methods' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library/methods' make[3]: *** [R] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src/library' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source/src' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/king/R/source' make: *** [make-arch-stamp] Error 2 packages: +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii blas-dev 1.1-9 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines, static lib ii libgnome-dev 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome libraries -- development package ii libzvt-dev 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome zvt (zterm) widget -- development ii libgtkxmhtml-d 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome gtkxmhtml (HTML) widget -- develop ii tcl8.4-dev 8.4.0-4 The Tool Command Language (TCL) v8.4 - Devel ii tk8.4-dev 8.4.0-5 The Tk toolkit for TCL and X11 v8.4 - Develo ii libglade-gnome 0.17-2.2 Development files for libglade (Gnome widget ii bison 1.35-3 A parser generator that is compatible with Y ii g77 2.95.4-14 The GNU Fortran 77 compiler. ii gcc 2.95.4-14 The GNU C compiler. ii groff-base 1.17.2-15.wood GNU troff text-formatting system (base syste ii libncurses5-de 5.2.20020112a- Developer's libraries and docs for ncurses ii libreadline4-d 4.2a-5 GNU readline and history libraries, developm ii tetex-bin 1.0.7+20011202 teTeX binary files ii tetex-extra 1.0.2+20011202 extra teTeX library files ii debhelper 4.0.2 helper programs for debian/rules ii texi2html 1.64-cvs200104 Convert Texinfo files to HTML ii texinfo 4.1-2 Documentation system for on-line information ii libbz2-dev 1.0.2-1 A high-quality block-sorting file compressor ii libpcre3-dev 3.4-1.1 Development stuff for libpcre ii libpaperg-dev 1.1.8 Library for handling paper characteristics ( ---- Robert King, Statistics, School of Mathematical & Physical Sciences, University of Newcastle, Australia Room V133 ph +61 2 4921 5548 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
