Installing R-3.3 on a HPC cluster
Hi Bjorn, Installing the bzip2 itself is not the problem. R>3.2.5 requires one of the headers in bzip2-devel. There is no source for bzip2-devel-1.0.6 (could not find it and I contacted the developer and no response yet). The RPM installation complains about lack of newer version of glibc (a version that is the default for CentOS 7). So, unless R be wrapped with the necessary headers of bzip2-devel I dont see an easy installation for new versions of R on CentOS 6. And we have very heavy R users. I appreciate any helpful comment ============================================================== Ali Siavosh-Haghighi, Ph.D. HPC System Administrator High Performance Computing Facility Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics NYU Langone Medical Center Phone: (646) 501-2907 http://www.med.nyu.edu/chibi/services/hpcf ==============================================================

I did install zlib as a module and bypassed that error but bzip2-devel-1.0.6 asks for some new version of glibc that is a bit more fundamental. That glibc and that bzip2 It is default for CentOS 7. So I was thinking if there is a way to install bzip2-devel as module as well but could not find the source.
I guess there should be no problem in downloading the latest bzip2 source code, build it and install it and create a module file for it. We recently had to do this for libcurl because the OS provided version was too old (didn't support https). If you google "bzip source" you will find that the source code can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.bzip.org_&d=CwIGaQ&c=j5oPpO0eBH1iio48DtsedbOBGmuw5jHLjgvtN2r4ehE&r=XaOCmLUnAz9o9ru8VyC-GVRS6cJNKKW6WtTDkj1afBA&m=Im1-S_Gpzb4vbMNNYwsYReogsNXaH_YHZYF1e0OB0Gc&s=bWQk-f2kOA-fgOmk0fluNBVwcjM2j7pU7EUz2gk4mTk&e= -- Regards, Bj?rn-Helge Mevik, dr. scient, Department for Research Computing, University of Oslo
