Dear list, I was able to successfully compile R on our AIX box at work using the GNU compilers following the instructions on the R Administration guide. The output can be seen at here (https://gist.github.com/nguyenvinh/504321ea9c89d8919bef) and yields no errors .
However, I get a segfault whenever I try to use the install.packages function to install packages. Using debug, I was able to trace it to the readDCF function: Browse[2]> debug: if (!all) return(.Internal(readDCF(file, fields, keep.white))) Browse[2]> debug: return(.Internal(readDCF(file, fields, keep.white))) Browse[2]> *** caught segfault *** address 4, cause 'invalid permissions' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: Was curious if anyone has a clue on why such error exists or what I could do to fix it? I'm able to install packages via R CMD INSTALL, but I would hate to have to manually determine dependencies, download the source for each package, and install them "by hand" via R CMD INSTALL. Would be great to get this resolved. Thank you for your help. -- Vinh ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
