Greetings,
I have a computer with the following setup:
1)cblfs (pure 64-bit (amd64) linux), kernel2.6.34 gcc4.4.2
2)R-2.11.1
I compiled R with BLAS and lapack using the switched ( --with-blas="-
lpthread -latlas -lfptf77blas"
--with-lapack="-llapack -lcblas" ).
(( http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Linear-algebra) )
Prior to compiling R-2.11.1
sh conigure --help gave options including the following
SHLIB_LD command for linking shared libraries
which contain object files from a C or Fortran compiler only
SHLIB_LDFLAGS special flags used by SHLIB_LD
SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS special flags used by SHLIB_CXXLD
SHLIB_FCD command for linking shared libraries which contain object files
from the Fortran 95 compiler
SHLIB_FCLDFLAGS special flags used by SHLIB_FCLD
I did not know what to set for these and accepted whatever the defaults
were. I ended up with shared-libraries which are as follows:-
$R_HOME/lib/{libRblas.so,libRlapack.so } i.e. with the prefix 'lib'
and the following shared-libraries without the 'lib' prefix.
$R_HOME/modules/{R_X11.so,internet.so,lapack.so,vfonts.so }
$R_HOME/library/cluster/libs/cluster.so
$R_HOME/library/foreign/libs/foreign.so
$R_HOME/library/grDevices/libs/grDevices.so
$R_HOME/library/grid/libs/grid.so
$R_HOME/library/KernSmooth/libs/KernSmooth.so
$R_HOME/library/lattice/libs/lattice.so
$R_HOME/library/MASS/libs/MASS.so
$R_HOME/library/Matrix/libs/Matrix.so
$R_HOME/library/methods/libs/methods.so
$R_HOME/library/mgcv/libs/mgcv.so
$R_HOME/library/nlme/libs/nlme.so
$R_HOME/library/nnet/libs/nnet.so
$R_HOME/library/rpart/libs/rpart.so
$R_HOME/library/spatial/libs/spatial.so
$R_HOME/library/splines/libs/splines.so
$R_HOME/library/stats/libs/stats.so
$R_HOME/library/survival/libs/survival.so
$R_HOME/library/tools/libs/tools.so
In linux builds the linker usually looks for libs with the 'lib' prefix. In
this installation all the libraries
---in $R_HOME/modules
---in $R_HOME/library/patha/to/whatevr
do not have the 'lib' prefix.
QUESTION:
A) does any on list know SHLIB_LD SHLIB_LDFLAGS SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS
SHLIB_FCD SHLIB_FCLDFLAGS settings for compiling R and do these result
in so libs with the 'lib' prefix?
B) If all of A) is negative what is there to be done to to enable
generation libraries in $R_HOME/modules $R_HOME/library/~ with the 'lib'
prefix?
suggestions welcomed.
