[R] problems when compiling R

[Tao Chen]

When I was trying to compile R-1.9.1 from source, I've got problems which seemed related to compiling the LAPACK package.

The error message is as follows:

gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib  -o libRlapack.so dlamc.lo dlapack0.lo dlapack1.lo dlapack2.lo dlapack3.lo cmplx.lo  -lblas -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-redhat-linux/2.96 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-redhat-linux/2.96/../../.. -lg2c -lm

/usr/bin/ld: open.o: @gprel relocation against dynamic symbol f__buflen
/usr/bin/ld: open.o: @gprel relocation against dynamic symbol f__buflen
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I just run the "configure" and then "make". The system information is as follows:

Hardware:
SGI Altix 3700 Supercluster
28 1.3G Itanium dual processors (ia64)

OS:
Redhat Linux AS2.1 (ia64)


I re-run the compling process on my own PC (AMD XP 2000+ with redhat linux 9) and got no problem at all ...

almost hang my neck on that as I need to move all my work to that supercluster

Thanks,
