Re R-beta: 0.61.3: Problems on DEC Unix 4.0
I had the same problem when I compiled on my Alpha last week. The error disappeared when I edited the source to join the line with the following parts of the statement to make it all one long line. Then cc did not complain. cc does not seem to like the division of the statement into multiple lines. If my memory serves me right, after that problem disappeared, most of the software compiled okay until I got an error related to the compiler not being able to find readline.h. These errors made me think I should be compiling with gcc. I went back and compiled with gcc. Everything compiled beautifully, but when I started R I got a core dump and a statement about a floating point exception. I have not had time to investigate this problem. If anyone knows of a solution please let me know. If I do not hear of a solution, I plan to try to recompile this weekend with the -g option and then try to find out what is causing the exception. But I would prefer that someone else tell me how to fix the problem. David Barber OhioLINK ----------

I had some trouble compiling the new R version on my Alpha: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr2/local/R/src/graphics' cc -ieee_with_inexact -O -Olimit 2000 -I/usr/local/include -I../include
-c
gdevice.c cc -ieee_with_inexact -O -Olimit 2000 -I/usr/local/include -I../include
-c
graphics.c cc: Error: graphics.c, line 808: An unexpected newline character is
present in a
string literal.
printf("Gpretty(%g,%g,%d): cell=%g, ndiv= %d
<=0;\t\t(ns,nu)=(%d,%d);
-----------------^ ... It seems that my DEC cc does not understand strings that fill two
lines.
The solution to this is to join the lines 808 and 809 of src/graphics.c into one line.
I run Digital UNIX 4.0A
The above error arises with the following compiler flags
cc -ieee_with_inexact -g -I../include
The same solution also applies.
There is another problem with paste(): it did not work anymore:
paste("a","b")
Error: memory exhausted
Has anyone else other experiences with R-0.61.3 on a DEC Alpha?
I do not have your problem -- when I run R I get:
