I like to, especially when I'm installing a lot of packages, some of which do not use DMGs. Anyhow, with the help of Joe Conway and others, I solved the problem, and here is the summary: When installing plr 8.2.0.1 into postgresql-8.2.0 on OS X 10.4, if you get the "Cannot build PL/R because libR is not a shared library" error: 1. Make sure that $R_HOME is set correctly. Mine is now set to: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources and as a result make can find the lib files it's looking for. 2. Make sure that the same version of gcc used to compile postgresql is used to compile plr. I used gcc 4.0 for both. (Since the default for OS X is 3.3, I'm guessing that the postgresql configure file makes its own selection.) a. The default gcc version can be discovered and changed on OS X with gcc_select b. The version of gcc used to compile postgresql can be discovered within the psql shell: postgres=# select version(); with a result that looks like: PostgreSQL 8.2.0 on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0, compiled by GCC powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061 _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
