Installation of packages?

Dear r-helpers,

we have installation problems:

Successful installation of R-0.63 base package on Solaris 2.5.1 with the
SunSoft compilers f77, c version 4.2.
We habe problems with the installation of further packages e.g.
integrate from CRAN.
R code works but the shared objects built from fortran code do not find
the appropriate libs with functions like  __pow_ii or __epx at runtime.

We tried to give -R -L -l options to the loader editing config.status
(config.site editing shows no reaction), but this doesn't help.

Hopefully a simple mistake done by us. Thanks.

Bodo Ahrens

I'm afraid this is more likely because noone on the development team
has the Sun (payware) compilers. 

If you or anyone else get it figured out, we'd be happy to install the
solution. 

There are a bit too many things that could go wrong (would you know
how to do things with Splus, BTW?) to give any real help, I'm afraid.
One thing, though: the proper procedure for a local reconfiguration is
to edit config.site, *make distclean* or at the very least remove
config.cache, configure, and rebuild.
#
Without tracing the loader system calls and knowing where the functions are
located I can only speculate on the problem. However, at least with earlier Sun
compilers, one needs to be careful that the compilers lib is ahead of the
system libs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you need to change options after configure (which is a bad idea) you
 need to edit Makeconf and etc/Makeconf rather than config.status.

I found that Sun f77 on Solaris 2.5.1 needed -R and -L options pointing to
the Sun Fortran libraries (in /opt/SUNWspro/lib on my system).

I still use Sun f77 but now on Solaris 2.6 and it seems to work
automatically.
