I have just noticed that the last several versions of R that I have compiled all have the problem that functions which use regular expressions (gsub, sub and anything which depends on them) do not work. In particular, methods(print) either gives an error message or causes a segmentation fault. The problem is actually in gsub/sub which either return character(0) or cause a segmentation fault. I have the problem in one form or another in 0.61.3, 0.62.4 and 0.63.2 but not in 0.61.1 (you may well wonder why we have so many versions simultaneously available!) Has anyone else seen this problem on Solaris? For what it's worth my build is on Solaris 2.4 using gcc and Sun's f77 with readline enabled and X11R6. I am fairly sure that I also had the same problem with a build of 0.62.4 on Solaris 2.5.1.
I haven't ever seen this problem on Solaris 2.5 or 2.6 Thomas Lumley Assistant Professor, Biostatistics University of Washington, Seattle -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
