I have also been having some trouble building R-devel on Panther. Using, ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua
produces lots of warnings about multiple definitions of symbols, e.g. ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _zlibVersion /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion ../../../bin/libR.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _BC /usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib(terminal.so) definition of _BC /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib(lib_termcap.o) definition of _BC and then dies with: make[4]: *** [R_aqua.so] Error 1 make[3]: *** [R] Error 2 make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make: *** [R] Error 1 On the other hand, ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack seems to make and install fine. R 1.8.1 built on this machine (a G5) --with-aqua so I'm a little mystified. Any suggestions on things to check would be most welcome. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820 ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
