I pretty much entirely agree with your points, Bill, and would tend to declare that this Apple library is ``broken'' for building a correctly running R.
Thanks for that.
Let me ask one question I've been wondering about now for a while:
Did you run "make check" after building R, and "make check" ran to completion without an error?
The thought occurred to me as well. So I tried to run it, but I could not get it to run. It was a couple of months ago I built this version of R, and maybe I trashed something. Time ran out, and I had to go and earn a living.
I will try again, and report the results.
If yes (which I doubt quite a bit), there *is* a bug in R's quality control / quality assurance tools -- and I would want to add a check for the misbehavior you've mentioned.
I would also be surprised if it runs without error.
I don't really understand LAPACK enough. I started reading and trying to work out how to produce test cases which I could submit to Apple as a bug or bugs.
