On http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub there is a build of R-devel (12/26/02) compiled with gcc-3.3-pch and g77-3.3-pch (apple build 1310 of 12/05/02) and linked with the vecLib framework for both BLAS and LAPACK. This is maybe a tiny bit faster than a build with OS X optimized ATLAS from fink, and it has the usual advantages of using dynamic libraries instead of static ones. Because R now includes libpcre and libbz2, and OS X includes libncurses, this makes building R.bin almost independent of fink (except for dlcompat and readline). ==Jan de Leeuw; Professor and Chair, UCLA Department of Statistics; Editor: Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Journal of Statistical Software US mail: 9432 Boelter Hall, Box 951554, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1554 phone (310)-825-9550; fax (310)-206-5658; email: deleeuw@stat.ucla.edu homepage: http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- No matter where you go, there you are. --- Buckaroo Banzai http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/sounds/nomatter.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
