Error when trying to compile R-devel
Dear Simon, Thank you for your reply, I have now installed "R-devel-48594.dmg" and my package passed "R CMD check" w/o problems. Nevertheless, I would be interested to know why I could not compile the source. The problem appears when trying to buid package "tcltk". What does "for architecture x86_64 object: /usr/local/lib/libtk8.5.dylib malformed object (unknown load command 7) mean? Best regards Christian

Dear All, In order to test my package with the newest R-devel I wanted to install R-devel on my Mac Tiger 10.4.11. First I downloaded "R-devel-48594.dmg", however the installer says "This multi-package is missing tools that are necessary to build R packages from sources". Although I have currently installed "R-2.9.1.dmg" I am not sure if the installed tools will work with R-devel, so I did not install it.
Sure, they do. The "tools" it's talking about are simply the GNU Fortran with you can also download separately from CRAN if you care, but you have it already if you installed any recent R.
Instead I downloaded the newest source "R-devel.tar.gz" (9/27/09) and wanted to build it:
Well, if you thought the tools don't work - how do you expect to build R? ;) Just pick the binary and you'll be fine. Cheers, S
$ cd /Volumes/CoreData/CRAN $ tar -zxf R-devel.tar.gz $ cd /Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/R-devel $ ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran $ make Configure did work, see the output below.
