[R-sig-hpc] issue building R 2.12.1 on CrayXT

[Paul Johnson]

Hello!

I don't have a Cray to test with :)  I have built R on all varieties
of Linux.  My first suggestion would be to simplify your configure
options.  You can add those in later if you really need to, but they
may be causing damage you don't expect.

Right now, I am trying to compile R with the same options you have, on
a Rocks LInux cluster with gcc.  Your spec calls for  non-GCC
compilers, which I don't have, and the configure fails, so I tried
this:

./configure --prefix=/tmp/trash CC=gcc CXX=g++ --without-x
--without-blas --without-lapack

If that build finishes before I have to close this email, I will let
you know what happens.

OK, I'm back.  That compile did work and all the packages built too.
So aside from your specification of compilers, I can't say much about
what is wrong on your system.

Have you tried the vanilla

./configure --prefix=/tmp/whatever

to see what happens?
