similar to: compilers for R on AMD64

Dear DevelopeRs, I'd like to ask those who develop R packages with compiled code to please try avoiding dependency on GCC (gcc/g77/gfortran/g++) specific features in the code, for the simple reason that there are non-GCC compilers out there that might choke on such features. I found this out back when I was trying to build R-2.3.0-to-be on our dual Opteron based Scyld cluster. Because the

For those interested: I compiled R-1.9.0beta_2004-04-02 with pgf77/gcc/g++ and g77/gcc/g++, both _without_ fast BLAS. Both passed make check-all. Simple crossprod(m) for fairly large `m' shows that the version compiled with pgf77 is about 15% faster: [andy@leo:scratch]% echo "set.seed(1); m <- matrix(runif(5e7), 1e4); gc(); system.time(crossprod(m))" | R-1.9.0-PGI/bin/R

Dear R-devel, I'm trying to compile R-1.9.0beta (2004-03-31) with the PGI compilers (15-day free evaluation: after the 15 days the binaries will stop working). I'm running into some problems, that I hope some can offer pointers. 1. After configure, the FLIBS include /usr/local/lib' --- note the extra '. I had to manually delete it in a couple of places. In a previous thread on

Dear R-help, Can some one tell me how to profile compiled code dynamically loaded into R? Here's what I tried on our dual Opteron running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (GCC 3.3): Start with R-patched dated 2004-06-07: (I also had MAIN_CFLAGS="-pg" in config.site.) R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory:

Dear all, Has anyone seen the same problem? I tried compiling R-1.9.0 alpha (2004-03-16) on our Opteron box running SUSE Linux ES8. I ran: ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas=goto and got: Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -m64 -O2 -g -msse2 -march=k8 -Wall --pedantic C++ compiler: g++ -m64 -O2 -g

Hi, How's the testing going? I compressed 194 individual .wav files (totaling 8.54GB) which contained tracks ripped from many varied albums. I unflacced them and compared their md5 signature with the same from the original .wav. They were all perfect. I didn't use the -V option just in case of any chance of mis-reporting. I hope to test it with the complete collection of ~41GB

Anybody out there successfully using the Salford Fortran compilers with R? I have created a DLL using the Salford FTN95 compiler and it works in as far I can dyn.load it, run the routines and get the right answers back. Unfortunately subsequently, sometime later, the Rgui crashes (access violation I think from the DrWatson log). The crashes depend on whether or not I paste the code as one

Dear R-devel, Can anyone give me some hints on how to go about debugging a strange segfault in my randomForest package? Here's the scoop: A user reported segfault when running predict() in the randomForest package. I asked for the data and code. The combination runs fine under WinXPPro, but does give segfault on one of our Linux boxes running R (1.7.0 through R-devel_2004-01-08) on

Hello all, This is a request for help from somebody who has the Ox interfaces working in R. I am trying to get the Ox interfaces working for Arfima and Garch modelling. However, I am having several problems: 1. The link to download G at rch_v40 does not work. Does anybody have a copy to email to me please? 2. Various guides offer different instructions for installing Ox in the correct place

Sorry, I don't :( I've split into individual files and

In the R-2.3.0 directory, what do you get if you type bin/R? Does R starts up OK, or do you get an error? What were the last few lines of output from running configure?

Hi all, I've only now noticed that on our Opteron boxes running Suse Enterprise Server 8 that R-2.0.1 did not pass make chek-all. It bombed in tests/lapack.R at: > eigenok <- function(A, E, Eps = 1000 * .Machine$double.eps) { V <- E$vect lam <- E$values stopifnot(abs(A %*% V - V %*% diag(lam)) < Eps, ....

I am experiencing strange results using dmvnorm. I define a scaled distance matrix from the coordinates bellow and then calculate a covariance matrix using a spherical correlation function. Then with certain combinations of range and sill parameters dmvnorm is returning values greater than 1. Surely the results of dmvnorm should be in the interval 0:1 (or do I just nead a holiday?). In addition

Dear R-help: Has anyone tried using R on the the AMD Opteron in either 64- or 32-bit mode? If so, any good/bad experiences, comments, etc? We are considering getting this hardware, and would like to know if R can run smoothly on such a beast. Any comment much appreciated.

Greetings. One for the developers I guess... I am having problems in using a (non-recommended) Fortran compiler (Salford ftn95 Windoze), and the crashes do seem to be associated with the ftn95-dervived DLL changing the Floating Point Control Word. The compiler people are suggesting (and I paraphrase!) that if R minds what the FPCW is it is up to R to make sure it is the value it wants and

Dear R-helpers, I had a conversation with a guy working in a "business intelligence" department at a major Spanish bank. They rely on recursive partitioning methods to rank customers according to certain criteria. They use both SAS EM and Salford Systems' CART. I have used package R part in the past, but I could not provide any kind of feature comparison or the like as I have no
