R devel - May 2004 - R with shared library support: 'make check' fails with unresolved symbol (PR#6896)

Full_Name: John Garvin
Version: 1.9.0
OS: OSF1 Alpha ev6
Submission from: (NULL) (128.42.129.78)


I configured R 1.9.0 with --enable-R-shlib on Alpha. 'make check' fails
with an
unresolved symbol. Here's the relevant output:

running code in 'reg-tests-1.R'
...529442:/home/garvin/research/tel/R-alpha/unpatched/R-1.9.0/lib/R/bin/R.bin:
/sbin/loader: Fatal Error: call to unresolved symbol from
/home/garvin/research/tel/R-alpha/unpatched/R-1.9.0/lib/R/modules/lapack.so
(pc=0x3ffbfde345c)

I'm using Compaq cc version V6.4-009 and ld version 5.1.

I am sorry, but that is not a platform the core team has easy access to,
and no one responded with any changes in the beta-testing period so we can 
reasonably assume that users on that platform were succeeding.

First check: you DID read the R-admin manual and follow the advice there?
This looks like a broken BLAS library and you are advised to use 
--without-blas ....
