Hi

I am having problems compiling R on a Solaris 10 opteron box we have on
trial.

checking for Fortran libraries of g77...  -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/usr/lib -
L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2 -

See `config.log' for more details.

I have installed gcc from sunfreeware

Looks like the following are not found:- 

configure:26575: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -
L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -
ldl -lm   -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s -lfrtbegin: -lg2c: >&5
ld: fatal: library -lg2c: not found
ld: fatal: library -lfrtbegin:: not found
ld: fatal: library -lg2c:: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:26581: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */


Any idea where to get them from ?

Cheers Vin

This might solve your problem without helping.  Having spent I bit of time
trying to build R with the pkgadd version of GCC from Sunfreeware and not
getting anywhere I downloaded the source for GCC 3.4.2 and built this, then
used this to build R.

Everything worked fine.

Did you also install the GNU binutils from there?

            

      
      
      
    

        
I've tried to reassemble the line, and I get

checking for Fortran libraries of g77...  -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2
-L/usr/ccs/bin -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2/../../..
-lfrtbegin -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s -lfrtbegin: -lg2c:

Now, the problem is those trailing colons: I have no idea what they mean
and nor it seems does gcc. (I don't see where -lg2c:: comes from.)

It should be possible to work around this, by setting

FLIBS=-lg2c -lm -lgcc_s

e.g. in config.site and re-configuring.

That is a somewhat old version of gcc: I suggest you use it to compile
3.4.3 from the sources and see if that works better.

Thanks Brian, 

I got a fix by installing the compiler from the software companion CD
(gcc version 3.4.3) and it compiled fine, the libs in question are then
in /opt/sfw/lib so a changed to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I was Ok.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers Vin
