Thanks for the suggestions, but I think what I need is help tracking down
what the exact error is in the compilation. Let me try again with the part
of the output describing the error:
install.packages("rgeos", dependencies = F, repos = "
http://cran.fhcrc.org/")
. . .
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in
`/tmp/RtmpUjYUle/R.INSTALL41c15690b9e1/rgeos':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgeos'
* removing '/files3/R/R-3.2.1_install/lib64/R/library/rgeos'
It says I should refer to config.log for more details. The only
config.log file I can find in the directory tree is the one for geos, which
I installed a couple of years ago, and did not give me problems with
previous installations of rgeos under earlier releases of R. In case there
is a clue, here is the output in that config.log around the cross compile
message:
configure:3682: result:
configure:3704: checking whether we are cross compiling
configure:3712: gcc -o conftest conftest.c >&5
configure:3716: $? = 0
configure:3723: ./conftest
Is there a config.log for the attempted rgeos installation? Where would I
find it?
You're build is failing pretty early in the configuration process which
suggests you are missing some tools in your development
environment. The latest geos was found. Was that a binary or built from
source? If from source you have the necessary tools in your dev
environment and it may merely be a function of dropping the depends in
you install.packages call....
Rgeos was built from source.
Thanks,
