I have also been having some trouble building R-devel on Panther. Using, ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua produces lots of warnings about multiple definitions of symbols, e.g. ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _zlibVersion /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion ../../../bin/libR.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _BC /usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib(terminal.so) definition of _BC /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib(lib_termcap.o) definition of _BC and then dies with: make[4]: *** [R_aqua.so] Error 1 make[3]: *** [R] Error 2 make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make: *** [R] Error 1 On the other hand, ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack seems to make and install fine. R 1.8.1 built on this machine (a G5) --with-aqua so I'm a little mystified. Any suggestions on things to check would be most welcome. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker@uiuc.edu Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820
building R-devel on Panther

This is no problem. R does not use the Apple provided zlib, but the dynamic linker looks there first. The second warning would probably go away if you recompiled readline in /usr/local (because Apple did not provide ncurses until Panther). Anyway, there are no conflicts.

This, of course, is a problem. Try a completely clean install. And then it may be interesting what happens just before this.
