I'm trying to compile R with support for profiling dynamically-loaded C code. I configured R with: export CFLAGS="-O0 -pg -pipe" export CXXFLAGS="-O0 -pg -pipe" export FFLAGS="-O0 -pg -pipe" ./configure --prefix=/tmp/Rprof --with-lapack="-llapack" --with-blas="-lblas" --with-bzlib --with-pcre --without-recommended-packages When I try to compile it, I get: dumping R code in package 'methods' Saving namespace image ... Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/tmp/R-1.9.1/library/methods/libs/methods.so": Service unavailable Execution halted *** Error code 1 Stop in /tmp/R-1.9.1/src/library/methods. *** Error code 1 The 'file' command tells me that methods.so is: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), not stripped What shall I try next? Please forgive me if I missed some very obvious documentation on the web or in the mailing-list archives. Thanks!
