Hi, I have been able to get R to compile for my Mac Pro using the excellent directions and resources at http://r.research.att.com/exp/.
However, even after downloading and installing the 64-bit version of the readline libs, if I turn on the readline option, I cannot get the configure script to detect that readline is installed! This is the error I keep getting: checking for readline/readline.h... yes checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for main in -lncurses... yes checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available I am sure that "rl_callback_read_char" exists in the include files. Another problem is that I downloaded and installed the 64-bit X11 libraries as suggested and compiled fine (without readline) but upon typing "x11()" in the newly-compiled R, I get this error: Error in x11() : X11 module cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib64/R.framework/Resources/modules/x86_64/R_X11.so': dlopen(/usr/local/lib64/R.framework/Resources/modules/x86_64/R_X11.so, 6): Symbol not found: _XtStrings Referenced from: /usr/local/lib64/R.framework/Resources/modules/x86_64/R_X11.so Expected in: dynamic lookup I have made sure that the 64-bit libraries are first in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but this doesnt help. Here is the configure command I am using: > ./configure CC='gcc -arch x86_64' CXX='g++ -arch x86_64' F77='gfortran -arch > x86_64' FC='gfortran -arch x86_64' --with-blas='-framework vecLib' > --with-lapack CPPFLAGS='-I/sw/include -I/sw/include/readline > -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/readline' LDFLAGS='-L/sw/lib > -L/usr/local/lib/x86_64 -L/usr/local/lib' r_arch=x86_64 --with-system-zlib > --build=x86_64-apple-darwin8.8.1 --prefix=/usr/local/lib64 --with-x > --x-includes=/usr/local/lib64/X11/include/ > --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib64/X11/lib/ --with-readline Can anyone help me with either of these 2 issues? thanks very much. -David -- David J.
