Prof. Ripley,
Sorry, but seems like I need a bit more spoon-feeding:
I did the dyn.load, and got:
unable to load shared library
"/home/andy/R-patched-mkl/modules/lapack.so":
/home/andy/R-patched-mkl/modules/lapack.so: undefined
symbol: lsame_ Right, that's it. LSAME is a BLAS routine, and your BLAS doesn't have it. There is a version in src/appl/blas.f, but you don't seem to have a complete BLAS to link against.
Strangely, I found lsame in libmkl_lapack.a (which I guess is the Lapack part of MKL). I did a real ugly hack: I inserted the link flags to this library in RHOME/src/modules/lapack/Makefile, where lapack.so is built. That seems to have solved the problem. The resulting build passes make check w/o any error.
If you really have a complete LAPACK3 (which I would not bet on) you can try building in src/modules/lapack omitting double.f and complex.f: you will need to rename a few entry points in Lapack.h as they have already been changed to avoid conflicts with sunperf (I think). See also the comments in the README there.
I think I'll just follow the advise in that README file, at least for now... Thanks very much for your help!
