Dear All, Summary: ========
To test some packages, I want to build R-3.1.0 (current R devel). However, when I use the default libblas, make check fails with running code in 'reg-BLAS.R' ...make[3]: *** [reg-BLAS.Rout] Error 1 It does not fail, however, if I use libatlas3 or libopenblas. The same thing happens with the current R patched. I've google around and cannot find anything, and I find it very surprising that make check fails here. Details: ======== - I have checked this with R-devel from 19 December and 26 December, as well as with the current R patched (2013-12-27, r64562) - Check fails when ls -l /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 28 10:31 /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libblas/libblas.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Oct 3 2012 /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 -> /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 - Version of libblas: libblas-dev 1.2.20110419 amd64 libblas3 1.2.20110419 amd64 - Check is OK when ls -l /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 28 11:04 /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 -> /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/libblas.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 26 2012 /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 -> /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3 - Version of libatlas libatlas3-base 3.10.1-2 (I also tried with openblas, and it worked just fine) - This happens in three different systems, one using gcc-4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5) and two with 4.8.2 (Debian 4.8.2-1) - I have configured and compiled R trying to follow debian/rules in the r-base-core package. This is what I do: ## with gcc-4.8 using -O3 or -O2 both lead to the check failure optimflags="-O2 -pipe -g" export CC="gcc -std=gnu99" export CXX=g++ export F77=gfortran export FC=gfortran export CFLAGS=$optimflags export CXXFLAGS=$optimflags export FFLAGS=$optimflags export FCFLAGS=$optimflags export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1 ./configure --with-cairo \ --with-jpeglib \ --with-readline \ --with-tcltk \ --with-system-bzlib \ --with-system-pcre \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-blas \ --with-lapack \ --enable-R-profiling \ --enable-R-shlib \ --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tcl8.5/tclConfig.sh \ --with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tk8.5/tkConfig.sh make -j8 Is this a know problem? Am I doing something wrong?
