Hi, Ok, don't ask me why , but I decided to move to Kubuntu 7.10 from all-so-faithful Debian/Sid/amd64. I don't know if this is a wise decision, but hopefully this will give me a "stable" system. And while I was changing I moved back to x86 architecture (64 bit had its own bag of monsters, and frankly I didn't see any considerable improvement in speed/performance).
Now the issue: Same old old.. refer here.... http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1769679&forum_id=165574 But now on i686 arch with R 2.5.1. I have gcc-4.1, gcc-4.2, g77 (3.4.6), libgfortran1 and libgfortran2 installed, yet: The linker can not find -lgfortran flag! /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran Quick-n-dirty solution was to create a symlink in /usr/lib as I had mentioned in the above link: ln -s libgfortran.so.2 libgfortran.so and it worked. But then I remembered from the last discussion, that the problem was with gcc-4.1 and upgrading to gcc-4.2 was supposed to solve the issue! Actually it turns that I g++-4.1 is also partly to blame. So, I removed the symlink (that I had created above) and changed the CC and CXX variables: export CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2'; export g++='/usr/bin/g++-4.2'; ./configure That helped and rkward compiled nicely. Hopefully this will help someone facing similar issue. Thanks, PK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
