RPM of R-1.2.1 for RH 7?
apjaworski at mmm.com said: The gcc-2.96 compiler has actually been fixed a couple of months ago. The current RPM version is 2.96-69.
What about RH g77? It used to produce broken shared libraries which
segfaulted
R, back in the official Gnu compiler collection in RH6.x series. Is that
fixed
in gcc-"2.96" of RH 7? (That is, should I upgrade to RH7 although I first thought it is better to stay far away from RH7.0 and gcc-"2.96"). cheers, jo -- Jari Oksanen -- Dept Biology, Univ Oulu, 90014 Oulu, Finland Ph. +358 8 5531526 (job), mobile +358 40 5136529 email jari.oksanen at oulu.fi, homepage http://cc.oulu.fi/~jarioksa/
Here is what the compiler update installed/updated on my machine. libstdc++-2.96-69 gcc-c++-2.96-69 cpp-2.96-69 gcc-2.96-69 libstdc++-devel-2.96-69 gcc-objc-2.96-69 gcc-g77-2.96-69 The g77 is there but I do not know what the changes to it were. All I know is that on my Linux box (266MHz Pentium MMX, generic MB and video card) this compiler compiled the whole R-1.2.1 distribution with no problems. (This included the g77 compilations.) All tests passed. I could also compile and check several packages. Moreover, I could compile the Matrix package with no problems, whereas I had problems with it using gcc-2.95.2 As Prof. Ripley remarked, the gcc-2.96 compiler suite is not an official release. The 2.95.2 is recommended for production work. The 2.96 version is reported to have problems with C++ code but I could not verify that these problems were fixed in the upgrade. Again, I know that I can compile, for example, the whole QT-2.2.2 tutorial without a single warning, but this of course does not prove anything.
