As the google perftools are specifically designed for multi-threaded C++ programs I ask this here rather than on R-devel.
On a Linux system (Ubuntu 11.10) I have been unsuccessful linking a package, say Rcpp, against -ltcmalloc. I do have /usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so.0 and friends installed but the link step comes back saying it can't find -ltcmalloc. I actually went to the trouble of including -L/usr/lib but installing the source package still ends in ... g++ -shared -Bdirect,--hash-style=both,-Wl,-O1 -o Rcpp.so Date.o DateVector.o Datetime.o DatetimeVector.o Dimension.o DottedPair.o Environment.o Evaluator.o Formula.o Function.o Language.o Module.o Pairlist.o Promise.o RObject.o RcppCommon.o Rcpp_init.o Reference.o Rostream.o Rstreambuf.o S4.o Symbol.o WeakReference.o barrier.o cache.o coerce.o complex.o debugging.o exceptions.o posixt.o r_cast.o -L/home/bates/build/R-devel/lib -lR -L/usr/lib -ltcmalloc ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltcmalloc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Rcpp.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Rcpp’ Am I missing something subtle? _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
