[R-sig-hpc] Installing R-3.3 on a HPC cluster

[Ali Siavosh-Haghighi]

Hi All,
For cluster running on CentOS-6 compiled and installed the following using gcc-5.2.0:

1. bzip2-1.0.6 (compiling with shared library option, then make a link in lib from libbz2.so.1.0.6 to libbz2.so.1)
2. zlib-1.2.8
3. XZ-5.2.2 (needed to make a link from liblzma.so.5.2.2 to liblzma.so.5.2, this particular link was not there)
4. pcre-8.38
5. curl-7.48.0

All the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CPATH, LIBRARY_PATH and PATH of course needed to be edited to prepend paths to the library and the headers of the packages above.
Then ./configure went through (I disabled openMP option).
In previous releases (3.2) there has been a directory /src/extra containing at least some of these packages. For 3.3 the necessary packages are not there (possibly for license issue?) and thus gone smooth installation. 
Regards
