I've modified the "$RHOME/bin/R" and
"$RHOME/cmd/filename" so that you
can use the same directories for multiple machines. That is, machines
running various flavors of UNIX can access the same directories.
The modified structure adds the directories
$RHOME/bin/$OSTYPE/
$RHOME/lib/$OSTYPE/
to hold the machine specific binaries.
For instance, here the $RHOME directory contains two subdirectories,
$RHOME/bin/solaris/
$RHOME/bin/sunos4/
which each hold the appropriate R.binary file.
These two modified functions assume that the environment variable $OSTYPE
is appropriately set, as is done automatically by the shell tcsh. If it
is not set, the directory names collapse to the original values,
$RHOME/bin/ and $RHOME/lib/
To use them, create the approprate directories and place the correct
binaries therein. ( Note that the makefiles will not do this
automatically!) Then replace $RHOME/bin/R and $RHOME/cmd/filename with
the modified ones.

Whereas all have it, we have bash, ksh: Linux tcsh, csh: linux which is unfortunate but one could live with that (lowercasing ...). The real problem is that the OS Linux exists on several hardware platforms (ix86, alpha, solaris, m68k, ...), so one would really need ${OSTYPE}-${HOSTTYPE} Again not knowing what POSIX says, here are the results: bash, ksh: i386 tcsh, csh: i386-linux OH NO! *** Note also that whereas the suggestion is perfect for binaries, it is in a way `orthogonal' to rearranging the R tree into <library>/<section>/<type> structure ... hmm, or should we have <platform> dirs for exec and objs? -k =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
