Up to now I have got the base R and about half of the packages
working on SuSe Linux 5.3 using gcc, g77 and xdevel.
The other half, for example: pspline, logspline, KernSmooth, akima,
tripack, ppr, principal.curve, cluster, funfit, repeated, event, etc.,
just won't install.
Some of them give warnings at expressions in subroutines (repeated,
event, pspline,etc.. I will ask about this in another mail) but a number
give 'Assembler messages'.
Of these I will quote an install log for 'akima' in full:
...........................................................................

Can somebody please explain what is happening here, I don't have a clue.
I am using akima_0.2-3.tar.gz downloaded from 'tuwien'.

It is the combination of -fpic and -g that causes the error, this was also the case with some older versions of SuSE, but with SuSE 5.2 and "-fpic -O2 -g" no errors and no warnings were produced. May be, we (SuSE users) should change to egcs? Albrecht PS: It occurs not on every Fortran file, one example is dgedi.f from netlib. ...................................................................... | Albrecht Gebhardt Tel.: (++43 463) 2700/837 | | Institut fuer Mathematik Fax : (++43 463) 2700/834 | | Universitaet Klagenfurt mailto:albrecht.gebhardt at uni-klu.ac.at | | Villacher Str. 161 http://www-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/~agebhard | | A-9020 Klagenfurt, Austria | `--------------------------------------------------------------------' -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help 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 !)
