Hello,
The set of messages below reports a successful build of 2.0.0 on AIX 5.2
using GCC 3.3.2
I've been trying for a while now to build 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 and have been
unsuccessful. I've tried:
- GCC 3.3.2 and 4.0.1
- default AIX make and GNU make
- 32-bit and 64-bit builds
A typical configure output is:
==============================================
R is now configured for powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /db2blast/R/2.1.0
C compiler: gcc -mno-fp-in-toc -maix32 -g -O2
C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2
Fortran compiler: g77 -maix32 -O2
Interfaces supported: X11
External libraries:
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: R profiling
Recommended packages: yes
==============================================
In all cases make crashes with:
==============================================
make[5]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools/src'
make[4]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools/src'
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
'/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so':
Execution halted
make[3]: *** [all] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library/tools'
make[2]: *** [R] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src/library'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/db2blast/R/R-2.1.0/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1
==============================================
Any ideas on what might have changed between 2.0.1 and 2.1.0 to cause this,
or maybe any suggestions on what I could try next?
