similar to: BLAS/Lapack on OS X

OS X 10.2 and higher comes standard with highly optimized versions of BLAS and Lapack in /Systems/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework. It seems that even for double precision they do much better. See http://sthmac.magnet.fsu.edu/benchmarks/ I am not sure how these numbers would look on G3 Macs, but obviously for double precision there is not much reliance on Altivec. So I tried to configure

RAqua now builds fine, but for some reason tcl/tk support cannot be compiled in. I get checking for /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh... /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh checking for /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh... /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh checking whether compiling/linking Tcl/Tk code works... no This is with configure

I did: ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua make sudo make install sudo make install-aqua Everything seems to be OK (some warnings about multiple definitions of some symbols). However: bass$ /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R Fatal error: unable to open the base package I got the same message when clicking on R.app in /Applications This

1. R-devel on OS X aborts when the code below is run after spitting out the message Loading required package: MASS Parameter 5 to routine DSTEIN was incorrect Mac OS BLAS parameter error in DSTEIN, parameter #0, (unavailable), is 0 2. I compiled R-patched using the included BLAS and Lapack, although Brian says this is impossible on OS X, because they are in FORTRAN (??). This version of R

I've been able to build a very primitive Aqua GUI for Darwin R. This version as minimum event handler support but at least you can drag around the quartz device. You need to download the RAqua.app.sit archive from http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/ You need to unstuff it and put inside your system Applications folder (i.e. /Applications) If you click on the RAqua icon nothing will happen

I have build R-1.6.0 on Jaguar (actually on 10.2.2), using gcc 3.1 from Apple, g77 3.1 from fink, ATLAS from fink. It passes all checks OK. I also re-compiled the 233 packages listed below with the same setup. I have NOT tested all these packages in any detail. A tar.gz file with the whole /usr/local/lib/R will be on ftp://gifi.stat.ucla.edu on Tuesday. It will NOT include anything from fink

Small things, mostly. 1. Buildproblem. Well-known and annoying. Build fails if debugging is on (which is the default) because Debugging.h breaks devQuartz.c compiles. If debugging is switched off on the command line or in the environment, then devQuartz.c builds, but aquaconsole.c does not compile, because it needs Debugging.h. I do not want to edit Apple system files, and not files in the R

I've set up for daily distribution builds of the current development version. These are available at http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/ The current one is R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-26.tar.gz (and it's pretty useless to wait for them to be mirrored elsewhere...) Notice that these are made using "make dist" (like the final release will be) and thus they may have

While builds and validations of R-1.6.2beta_2002-12-20 were successful on several systems, there were a few failures: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apple Darwin 6.2 (MacOS 10.2.2) with gcc-3.2.1: gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o .libs/libgslcblas.0.0.0.dylib sasum.lo saxpy.lo ... isamax.lo izamax.lo xerbla.lo -lc -install_name

I have a version of R-devel which is configured with the flags configure --with-tcl-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh --with-tk-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework /tkConfig.sh --enable-R-shlib --with-aqua --without-x TCLTK_LIBS="-framework Tcl -framework Tk" TCLTK_CPPFLAGS="-I/Library/Framewor ks/Tcl.framework/Headers

Pretty soon, hopefully, the RAqua version will make the Darwin/X11 version unnecessary. In the meantime, for convergence, I'll modify the Gifi version in various ways. -- It's 1.7.1 -- It no longer supports gnome -- It still uses Tcl/Tk for X11 (using 8.5 from CVS) !! It no longer uses anything from fink (readline and dlcompat as on Stefano's site, jpeg and png and teTeX from

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the

I don't think it is necessary to put binary versions of the Darwin/X11 version on CRAN any more. The current sources compile without problems on both Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2, using either gcc/g77 2.95.2 or gcc/g77 3.1, or f2c. It seems to me that if you are using R from the command line, using X11, that you are sophisticated enough to install the tools below. And, if you want to install and

Has anyone successfully check/build tseries for MacOSX? It seems like there is the same problem with symbols duplications. The -m like option does not seem to help. stefano

I've built a version of RAqua that uses X11 TclTk and NOT AquaTclTk. http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/RAquaX11.dmg (15 MB disk image) The idea is that you: launch RAqua, launch X application (the X Server), and from inside R type x11() # just tt set DISPLAY to :0.0. Eventually close this window device, we don't need this. load(tcltk) quartz() demo(tkdensity) It works on my Panther

If one installs the CLI and RAqua versions, by saying both "make install" and "make install-aqua", then packages that use libR.dylib get their symbols from /Applications/StartR.app/RAqua.app/Contents/Frameworks/libR.dylib and not from /usr/local/lib/R/bin/libR.dylib. That's unfortunate, because the first is likely to change, and the second is not. For instance, what

It used to be sufficient to configure R with configure --enable-R-shlib --with-tcl-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh --with-tk-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua but for some reason this does get Tcl/Tk support build in Panther (batteries included version of Aqua Tcl/Tk, but observe
