Hi all, I downloaded R-2.14.0.tar.gz, unpacked, ran configure with --with-blas="-lgoto2", built, then issued make install rhome=/usr/local/lib/R-2.14.0-goto This produced the following error: [lots of output deleted] make[3]: Entering directory `/home/plangfelder/Download/R-2.14.0/src/modules/lapack' cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/R-2.14.0-goto/lib/libRlapack.so': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [install] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/plangfelder/Download/R-2.14.0/src/modules/lapack' make[2]: *** [install] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/plangfelder/Download/R-2.14.0/src/modules' make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/plangfelder/Download/R-2.14.0/src' make: *** [install] Error 1 Apparently the error was caused by the fact that the script neglected to create the directory /usr/local/lib/R-2.14.0-goto/lib/ before attempting to copy the libRlapack.so file into it. Creating the directory manually and re-running make install rhome=/usr/local/lib/R-2.14.0-goto solved the problem. The installed R seems to work fine. Is it a bug in the appropriate Makefile, or did I do something wrong? I'm on Fedora 9 (i686, i386, kernel 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 if that makes any difference)... Thanks, Peter
