[R] Redhat compilers and lme4 with R-2.4.0

[Patrick Connolly]

I've tried unsuccessfully to install lme4 on two different Redhat
systems but I've not noticed anything on this list to indicate anyone
else has had similar problems.


* Installing *source* package 'lme4' ...
** libs
gcc -I/usr/local/R-2.4.0/include -I/usr/local/R-2.4.0/include  -I/usr/local/include    -fpic  -g -O2 -std=gnu99 -c init.c -o init.o
In file included from init.c:1:
lme4_utils.h:4:20: error: Matrix.h: No such file or directory
In file included from init.c:1:
lme4_utils.h:14: error: syntax error before ��c��
lme4_utils.h:14: warning: type defaults to ��int�� in declaration of ��c��
lme4_utils.h:14: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
init.c:44: error: syntax error before ��c��
,,, etc, 


My first theory was that warnings given when the Matrix package was
installed could indicate what was missing.  However, I've been
notified that the same errors don't prevent a Debian system installing
lme4.

Knowing that Redhat has previously fiddled with compilers before
version 3, I'm now suspecting that something similar has been happening.

Does this information tell anybody something informative about FC4's
compiler (unchanged from installation)?

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,java,f95,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
--host=x86_64-redhat-linux

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8)


The other system is RHEL 3 (32bit) but it gives a similar bunch of
errors using an older compiler (3.0.3 IIRC)

There must be others using Redhat and I'd be interested to know if/how
you succeded installing lme4.


I'm feeling left out of the 2.4.0 loop since I have to stay with 2.3.1
to use lme4, so I'd greatly appreciate any information anyone has.

Thanks
