cluster installation hangs or too many args (PR#1624)
Full_Name: Felix Hernandez-Campos
Version: R-1.5.0
OS: IRIX, FreeBSD, Solaris
Submission from: (NULL) (208.30.174.32)
[R-1.5.0]
The installation of the package cluster fails in FreeBSD (4.2) and IRIX (6.5)
(but it works fine for Solaris). In FreeBSD, the installation hangs right after
f77 -fPIC -g -O2 -c clara.f -o clara.o
(the first FORTRAN compile). In IRIX, the program also hangs at the same point,
but after a minute or two, it returns an error about an "arg list too
long".
The
problem is in ~R/bin/f77. I added a print out statement in ~R/bin/f77 and it
shows
that this script is calling itself endlessly (rather than invoking the f77
compiler).
I have been able to solve the problem in both platforms by changing the
following
line in ~R/bin/f77
: ${F77='f77'}
by
: ${F77='/usr/bin/f77'}
P.S. I was always able to install the package cluster without this modification
in
R-1.4 and R-1.3.

This runs correctly for me on `Solaris', using Solaris' f77. I presume you don't have a Fortran compiler installed on either system as you are using the script bin/f77? If so how did you compile cluster before? We need a lot more information, including which compilers you have and which configure selected. Did you perchance set environment variables such as FC or F77? If you do have /usr/bin/f77 as a real Fortran compiler, tell configure so (or edit etc/Makeconf).
