[R-sig-Debian] possible Sweave problem in rdevel build on Debian 6.0.8?
Dear R-sig-debian, As of last night, we are running into a build failure when trying to compile the development version of R from the svn repository, Revision: 64090: ./configure && make -j4 distclean && ./configure && make -j4 [lots of normal compile output not shown...] building/updating vignettes for package 'utils' ... processing 'Sweave.Rnw' Error: running Sweave on vignette '/net/home/rpackagebuilder/src/R.trunk/src/library/utils/vignettes/Sweave.Rnw' failed with message: <text>:1:1: unexpected '|' 1: | ^ Execution halted make[1]: *** [vignettes-lattice] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/net/home/rpackagebuilder/src/R.trunk/src/library' make: *** [vignettes] Error 2 The same vignette compiles without error on the same machine using the stable release version of R. Does anyone have suggestions on how I might debug this further to determine if this is an issue with Sweave, the vignette, or our system configuration? thanks for your help, -skye

This strikes me as an issue for, at best, r-devel. SVN snapshots of R _are unreleased_ software without implied guaranty. That said, I too build R from SVN about once a week, but I have not had issues in years. And I just did an 'svn up' followed by my build script, and all is still well: edd at max:~$ bin/R-devel.sh R Under development (unstable) (2013-10-21 r64091) -- "Unsuffered Consequences" Copyright (C) 2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) [....] Using Ubuntu 13.04, current. Also using MAKE="make -j4" -- so I think you need to do so some debugging at your end. Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com
