Thanks very much for your help, Uwe. I can compile the package, but when load the package, it cannot find the share lib, as the error message:
** testing if installed package can be loaded Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/data1/zhucai/local/R-2.15.1/ library/gsl/libs/gsl.so': libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed * removing /data1/zhucai/local/R-2.15.1/library/gsl I think it may because the environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I do not know how to configure R to find the share lib under my path for that package, so I am trying to write a configure document for my own account on serve, hoping this can solve the problem. 2012/7/25 Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> > Looking at the gsl code suggest you can set environmant variables that are > used by configure, hence setting > > GSL_CFLAGS = -I/data1/zhucai/local/gsl/**include > GSL_LIBS = -L/data1/zhucai/local/gsl/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas > > before R CMD INSTALL should do the trick (untested). > > Uwe Ligges > > > > > On 24.07.2012 11:36, cai zhu wrote: > >> Dear R users: >> >> I have a problem when installing the R package *gsl*.
