1) Was readline compiled under those same flags? Was it compiled under 64-bit mode at all? (The manual does warn about that.) 2) You should be able to get ctest built by (cd src/library/ctest; make) but that should have happened anyway. 3) The actual error seems to be in interpreting the methods code. That has nothing to do with readline (it is run in batch mode) so there must be another difference. It all points to problems with your readline library. Are you sure that there are not earlier error messages you have overlooked/ignored?

Full_Name: Jeremy Fox Version: 1.5.0 OS: Solaris 8, 64 bit Submission from: (NULL) (171.64.232.63) I am compiling R under Solaris and the compilation stops at this point. The problem only happens when I link in readline. The R binary is actually compiled and readlne works. The main problem with the compiled binary (other than that all the supporting files were not correctly installed) is that it prints out the error Warning message: There is no package called `ctest' in: library(package, char = TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts, the first time I try to do something. It generally prints out only once, but may be the cause of the problem with the break in the make process I am worried about. I am using 64 bit Solaris, with the 64 bit with Sun Forte flags as advocated in Appendix B. 7.2 of the Installation Guide. I compiled readline with the same flags. For definiteness, they are CC="cc -xarch=v9" CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" F77="f95 -xarch=v9" FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign" CXX=CC CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign -xarch=v9" Without readline, the make command exectutes fine. Here is the actual bug mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/methods/libs make[5]: Leaving directory `/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/w/o/wolak/jerfox/RProj/R-1.5.0/src/library/methods/src' make[4]: Leaving directory `/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/w/o/wolak/jerfox/RProj/R-1.5.0/src/library/methods/src' make[4]: Entering directory `/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/w/o/wolak/jerfox/RProj/R-1.5.0/src/library/methods' dumping R code in package 'methods' Warning message: There is no package called `ctest' in: library(package, char = TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts, Error in file == "" : comparison (1) is possible only for atomic types Execution halted make[4]: *** [../../../library/methods/R/all.rda] Error 1 The file all.rda is not created. This may be because of this unimportant error message about ctest that somehow involves the readline package. I am using Readline 4.2a.
