For the last, I dunno, week or so I've been unable to build R... I finally took the time to investigate and the crash is in building 'methods': all.R is unchanged ../../../library/methods/man/methods.Rd is unchanged make[2]: `Makedeps' is up to date. ../../../../library/methods/libs/methods.so is unchanged make[1]: Nothing to be done for `Rfiles'. Any clues to where this came from? Regenerating the Makefiles didn't seem to help. OS X, 10.2.6, gcc3.3 rsync about 6 hours old. Should I just nuke the whole build tree and rsync everything again? --- Byron Ellis (bellis@hsph.harvard.edu) "Oook" - The Librarian
Problem building methods package?
2 messages · Byron Ellis, Brian Ripley
methods changed to use a NAMESPACE about last weekend. It does build now (there were several days with problems), but you will need to rebuild it from scratch. Either do make distclean; ./configure ... or at least remove library/methods and src/library/methods/all.R and remake. (And since I have been in Milan working with Stefano, I know it now builds on MacOS X too.)

No `crash' shown!

If you build in a separate tree the last step is never needed.
