Subject: [Rd] Compiling R-devel - missing some expected features (zlib,
bzlib, lzma, PCRE)
Hi All,
I am compiling R-devel on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.2) and that works just fine,
but I am missing some of the expected features, as shown here:
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Linux
In particular, after configure (using all defaults), I see:
R is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
[...]
Interfaces supported: X11
External libraries: readline, curl
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, NLS, cairo, ICU
Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling
Under 'External libraries', I am missing "zlib, bzlib, lzma, PCRE". As far
as I can tell, I have all necessary libs installed:
wviechtb at psysim:~$ dpkg -l | grep zlib
ii zlib1g:amd64 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1
ii zlib1g-dev:amd64 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1
wviechtb at psysim:~$ dpkg -l | grep libbz
ii libbz2-1.0:amd64 1.0.6-8
ii libbz2-dev:amd64 1.0.6-8
wviechtb at psysim:~$ dpkg -l | grep liblzma
ii liblzma-dev:amd64 5.1.1alpha+20120614-
2ubuntu2
ii liblzma5:amd64 5.1.1alpha+20120614-
2ubuntu2
wviechtb at psysim:~$ dpkg -l | grep pcre
ii libpcre16-3:amd64 2:8.38-3.1
ii libpcre3:amd64 2:8.38-3.1
ii libpcre3-dev:amd64 2:8.38-3.1
ii libpcre32-3:amd64 2:8.38-3.1
ii libpcrecpp0v5:amd64 2:8.38-3.1
Any suggestions on what else I may need?
Best,
Wolfgang
