Has anyone tried to build R on Suns by linking to the versions of BLAS and LINPACK in the Sun Performance Library rather than the standard versions included in the distribution? On the face of it this would seem to be a highly desirable thing to do since these versions of the routines are more efficient and can exploit parallelism on multiprocessor machines.

I think I reported this bug in the past. At that time, I was told that it is a bug of autoconf. ./configure does not recognize Linux on DEC Alpha 21164PC (a cheap version of Alpha EV56), so all the compilation flags were set incorrectly. I don't know the right way to fix it (I don't know how autoconf works yet ...), but the following patch fixes the problem. Thank you, Naoki Naoki

Hello, I want to find the roots of an equation in two variables. I am aware of the uniroot function, which can do this for a function with a single variable (as I understand it...) but cannot find a function that does this for an equation with more than one variable. I am looking for something implementing similar to a Newton-Raphson algorithm. Thanks. -- Bill Shipley North American Editor for
