Dear list,
as I started installing R-2.15.0 on a Red Hat 4.5.1-4 as well a Ubuntu
10.04.3 systems.
While the basic installation went fine (like the previous R-2.14.2), now
I'm having trouble installing almost one third of the additional libraries
I want (which installed flawlessly with R-2.14.2), among them RODBC for
which I show the message below (obtained on Ubuntu) :
surf_forInstallation_> R CMD INSTALL RODBC_1.3-5.tar.gz
* installing to library '/linux/biolo/R_surf/R-2.15.0/lib64/R/library'
* installing *source* package 'RODBC' ...
** package 'RODBC' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
checking for gcc...
gcc -std=gnu99
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'
* removing '/linux/biolo/R_surf/R-2.15.0/lib64/R/library/RODBC'
In fact, I get identical messages on our Red Hat 4.5.1-4 and the Ubuntu
10.04.3 systems mentioned above.
Obviously something with our C compiler(s) didn't work out.
In order to learn more about the problem I tried to look at config.log
mentioned in the installation-message above, however, I cannot find
the file, neither in my current path nor in
/linux/biolo/R_surf/R-2.15.0/lib64/R/library .
Obviously the RODBC directory doesn't exist any more when the installation
attempt ends.
Any hints ?
I'm new to the Debian-list, but at least I haven't seen similar (recent)
posts on R-help or the bioconductor lists.
Wolfgang,
For the Ubuntu box, I would start by using my R PPA found here:
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter
I would also suggest using apt and/or synaptic to install as many
packages as possible from the repositories (sudo apt-get install
r-cran-rodbc, for example).
The error you received indicates to me you do not have any development
packages or a c++ complier installed. Have you installed "r-base-dev"?
That should install the needed compilers.
Michael
