I thought I'd give this another shot before the official release. I tried building R-beta_2004-04-07 on the AIX system that I have access to, and it seemed to failed at lazy-loading survival. I'd very much appreciate any pointer on what to try or look for next.
1. I set OBJECT_MODE to 64 for building 64-bit binary. 2. I edited config.site with the following: CC="xlc_r" CFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto" F77="xlf_r" FFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -qextname" SHLIB_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-G -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-T512 -Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-bexpall" CXX="xlC_r" CXXFLAGS="-O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto" SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS="-qmkshrobj" 3. Ran configure with the following options: --with-tcltk=no --prefix=$HOME --with-readline=no and get the following: R is now configured for powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0 Source directory: ../R-beta Installation directory: /SFS/user/ry/liawand C compiler: xlc_r -O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto C++ compiler: xlC_r -O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto Fortran compiler: xlf_r -O -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=auto -qtune=auto -qext name Interfaces supported: X11 External libraries: Additional capabilities: MBCS, NLS Options enabled: R profiling Recommended packages: yes 4. Ran `gmake', which produced the following: [...] xlc_r -Wl,-G -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-T512 -Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-bexpall -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-T512 -Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-bexpall -Wl,-bI:/SFS/user/ry/liawand/R/Rbuild/etc/R.exp -L/usr/local/lib -o survival.so agexact.o agfit2.o agfit3.o agfit5.o agfit_null.o agmart.o agmart2.o agscore.o agsurv1.o agsurv2.o agsurv3.o char_date.o chinv2.o chinv3.o cholesky2.o cholesky3.o chsolve2.o chsolve3.o cox_Rcallback.o coxdetail.o coxfit2.o coxfit5.o coxmart.o coxph_wtest.o coxscho.o coxscore.o dmatrix.o doloop.o pyears1.o pyears2.o pyears3.o pystep.o surv_callback.o survdiff2.o survfit2.o survfit3.o survindex2.o survindex3.o survreg2.o survreg3.o survreg4.o survreg5.o -lm gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/ltmp/R.INSTALL.5603432/survival/src' ** R ** data ** moving datasets to lazyload DB ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading /SFS/user/ry/liawand/R/Rbuild/bin/INSTALL[325]: 5677292 Illegal instruction(coredump) ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'survival' gmake[2]: *** [survival.ts] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/SFS/user/ry/liawand/R/Rbuild/src/library/Recommended' gmake[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/SFS/user/ry/liawand/R/Rbuild/src/library/Recommended' gmake: *** [stamp-recommended] Error 2 Best, Andy ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
