[R] R-1.0.0 and Alpha-linux (RH 6.1)
R-1.0.0 still will not run my Alpha-Linux (RH 6.1) - LX 164 architecture. Per advice received, I compiled R with the -ieee_with_inexact, with -mieee-with-inexact, and (a guess based on experience with an older version 0.64?) without optimizations for either gcc or g77. These were done one at a time (see below). Results were as previously: The check (make check) output filetests stops with only the floating point exception - before the prompt occurs (setup_RmainLoop?). ([ctest-Ex.Rout] reports Error 136) and then Error 2 as make backs up to the top level. Compiler is egcs 2.91.66. (egcs-1.1.2). I tried to force these flags by editing Makeconf (without running configure after). This is not sufficient. Several .c and several .f file were compiled with the default IEEE flag ( -mieee). ./configure --enable-ieee_with_inexact (or --enable-mieee-with-inexact) both yield default behavior instead of cflags/fflags with the desired options. What am I missing.

This has passed "make check", which is included as part of the build process. No extra compiler switches or patches are required. Why not install the RPM and try "R CMD check ctest"?> ([ctest-Ex.Rout] reports Error 136) and thenI have another thought: ctest is now available as part of the base distribution, but previously it was distributed separately. If you have separate copy of the ctest library, then you may be picking up the wrong version (now obsolete) in "make check". I seem to recall being burned by this.
