Hello, How can I check if my the R program that I've installed is compiled with the option --enable-R-shlib? And, if need be, how do I enable that option? Thank you for the help Michel
option --enable-R-shlib

Michel, You can check this by using the command "ldd /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R". If "libR.so" (the shared R library) appears in the resulting list, then you have R built with " --enable-R-shlib".
And, if need be, how do I enable that option?
If needed, you can enable this option during the build process by passing the option, e.g. ./config --enable-R-shlib, just before make. Hope this helps, Ivailo

Hi Ivailo, Do I run this command in R? Or in terminal? Maybe I should have added that I have a mac, I don't know if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for the help. Michel

Sorry, Michel, I missed to mention that ldd needs to be run in the terminal, and don't forget to provide the correct path to the R executable. You can check http://v.gd/ZPswag for further details on how to build R under Mac OS X. Good luck, Ivailo
