Hi,
I'm trying to install the gsl wrapper source code
(http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/gsl_1.9-8.tar.gz) on a Linux
system (OpenSuse 11.1), but encountering the following problem. I've
already installed 'gsl' version 1.14
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.14.tar.gz) on the system. What's
missing? Thanks a lot...
Installing the gsl library correctly? I need to guess quite a bit
here (and a clean install attempt would have given a few more clues).
I suspect you installed into /usr/local/lib whereas your OS probably
uses /usr/local/lib64 (most x86_64 Linuxen do, and you seem to be
using lib64 for R). In that case ld.so most likely will not find the
dynamic library in /usr/local/lib.
You can avoid such problems by installing auxiliary software such as
gsl from RPMs -- I would be very surprised if OpenSuse did not have
gsl and gsl-devel RPMs. Otherwise you need to install from the
sources by something like
make install libdir=/usr/local/lib64
R CMD INSTALL gsl
* installing to library ‘/usr/lib64/R/library’
