[Rd] R 1.7.0 installation problem: make check fails when using --with-lapack option

[Matthias Burger]

Hi again,

first I'd like to thank you for the prompt replies and insights.

So here is my next attempt log:
After some conversation with my local sys admins I convinced them to install gcc 
3.2.2 (also g++ and g77 for that version) compiled for Debain woody stable (!) 
as that is our site wide system setup.

And yes I simply had forgotten to set the correct g77 version (thanks to Dirk 
for pointing this out).

As we have now one central installation point for R (and not on each host 
individually) I cannot use the Debian package system I believe. Even if so I do 
not have root access and thus have to stick to comile myself from src.

So after some experimenting my host now is configured with packages
blas  &  blas-dev (Version: 1.1-9)
lapack2 & lapack2-dev (Version: 3.0.20000531a-18)
and
atlas2-sse2 & atlas2-sse2-dev (Version: 3.2.1ln-7)

exporting the gcc variables, make distclean

configure (see below)

make
runs through but
make check
fails with the same error in base.R as reported earlier.

ldd bin/R.bin reports

kuhn burger 243 (R/R-1.7.0-inst): ldd bin/R.bin
         libblas.so.2 => /usr/lib/sse2/atlas/libblas.so.2 (0x40027000
         libg2c.so.0 => /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0x403fd000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40419000)
         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4043b000)
         libpcre.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 (0x40443000)
         libbz2.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 (0x4044c000)
         libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4045c000)
         libreadline.so.4 => /lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x4046c000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40492000)
         libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40496000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x404d4000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

  so it seems to find the libblas
but starting R and doing the same I get

 >system("ldd bin/R.bin")
         libblas.so.2 => /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.2/../../../libblas.so.2 
(0x40016000)
         libg2c.so.0 => /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.2/../../../libg2c.so.0 
(0x40079000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400a6000)
[...]

even if I set
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/sse2/atlas:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I get the same picture.

Now I have no further knowledge how to check & persuade the run time linker to 
pick up the correct libs. In any case I believ this to be the cause of the 
failure or am I grossly mistaken?

Any suggestions what I could try next (or just leave it and  waive lapack support) ?


Regards,

   Matthias
