I feel like Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront" where he's told "It's not your night, kid", except for me it has been the last two months trying to debug memory problems. Now I can't even install an old version of this package on a netbook running the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix because it can't find the libraries libf77blas and libatlas.
I have even gone to the extent of removing the r-base-core package entirely and removing libatlas3gf-base then reinstalling everything. I still get bates@eeek:/var/tmp$ R CMD INSTALL lme4_0.999375-37.tar.gz * installing to library ‘/home/bates/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12’ * installing *source* package ‘lme4’ ... ** libs gcc -I/usr/share/R/include -I"/usr/lib/R/library/Matrix/include" -I"/usr/lib/R/library/stats/include" -fpic -std=gnu99 -O3 -pipe -g -c init.c -o init.o gcc -I/usr/share/R/include -I"/usr/lib/R/library/Matrix/include" -I"/usr/lib/R/library/stats/include" -fpic -std=gnu99 -O3 -pipe -g -c lmer.c -o lmer.o gcc -I/usr/share/R/include -I"/usr/lib/R/library/Matrix/include" -I"/usr/lib/R/library/stats/include" -fpic -std=gnu99 -O3 -pipe -g -c local_stubs.c -o local_stubs.o gcc -shared -o lme4.so init.o lmer.o local_stubs.o -llapack -lf77blas -latlas -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lf77blas /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -latlas collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [lme4.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘lme4’ * removing ‘/home/bates/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12/lme4’ The thing that seems to be missing in /usr/lib/ is a symbolic link from libatlas.so.3gf to libatlas.so. All I have is lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2011-01-28 09:37 libatlas.so.3gf -> /etc/alternatives/libatlas.so.3gf Can someone tell me if I should see a link from libatlas.so.3gf to libatlas.so? _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
