Hello, I am trying to install R on Suse linux 10.1. To get configure to run correctly, I had to set FPICFLAGS=fPIC.
R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 Fortran 77 compiler: g77 -g C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2 Fortran 90/95 compiler: g77 -g Obj-C compiler: Interfaces supported: X11 External libraries: readline Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, iconv, MBCS, NLS Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling, Java Recommended packages: yes When I then run make, I get: make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src/extra/blas' make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src/extra/blas' g77 fPIC -g -c blas.f -o blas.o g77: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make[4]: *** [blas.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src/extra/blas' make[3]: *** [R] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src/extra/blas' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src/extra' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-2.8.0/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 Help would be appreciated, William ______________________________________________ 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.
