Dear all, i am trying to get PL / R running on Mac OS X. PostgreSQL is already running and connects just smoothly to R via DBI / RPostgreSQL . Despite finding a couple of posts of people with the same problem (i.e. error message) i could not get it done for me. I use Mac OS 10.5.7 and PostgreSQL 8.3.7 as well as R 2.9.2 I put the untared plr to my /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ If i just add the path mentioned above to the Makefile and run USE_PGXS=1 make : i get the following error message: make: pg_config: Command not found make: *** No targets. Stop. If simply run make inside the plr directory i get the following: Makefile:41: ../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory Makefile:42: /contrib/contrib-global.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/contrib/contrib-global.mk'. Stop. If I change R_HOME in the makefile to Users/myname (which is supposed to be my R home and initial working directory) I get the following error message: *** Cannot build PL/R because libR is not a shared library. *** You might have to rebuild your R installation. Refer to *** the documentation for details. This is a message i found already on several posts. Some answers suggest to recompile R with the shared lib option enabled. Anyway, some posts suggests that it is possible without recompiling. Simon Urbanek for example said on a markmail.org post, it was possible without recompiling. I?d really like to know how... Thx in advance for any suggestions ! Best regards matt
Wrong mailing list. Suggest reposting on R-SIG-Mac but only after re- reading the Posting Guide.
