similar to: OS X problem with DSTEIN in IGLS code

R-devel has the --with-lapack flag for configure. If you build R with --with-blas="-framework vecLib" --with-lapack="--framework vecLib" then the build goes through, using the native optimized BLAS and Lapack in /System/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework. Also, it works, in the sense that it does eigenvalue problems correctly. I don't have any timings yet, because I

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

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

Both the command line version and the Aqua version build/install fine on Panther B44. "Make check"runs fine as well. The configure flags are 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 In the environment I

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

Yesterday I ported FLAME to OS X (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/index.html). FLAME is a system to automatically (currently semi-automatically) generate efficient and correct linear algebra routines in C or MATLAB or MPI from descriptions of the algorithms. It uses code that relies heavily on partitioning of matrices, and avoids indices as much as possible. There are a number of

Hello - I'm trying to compile R 1.7.0 on a PowerBook running OS X 10.2.5. I've compiled R (1.6.2) successfully before on this machine, under either 10.2.3 or 10.2.4. My gcc is from the latest Apple Developer Tools release and the g77 is up-to-date via Fink. R passes ./configure just fine, with the following options: R is now configured for powerpc-apple-darwin6.5 Source

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

Hello, All: ????? I'm unable to control the font size in plots to svg.? Consider the following: svg('cex-svg.svg') cex. <- 5 plot(1:2, cex.axis=cex.) text(1:2, 1:2, c('as', 'DF'), ????????? cex=cex.) dev.off() ????? When I open this in Gimp 2.10.4, the font size is tiny.? I also tried: svg('cex-svg.svg', width=15, height=15, pointsize=24) cex.

No, blas/veclib is tested, so aprt this extreme case you should report some other more commonly used cases in which something fails on OS X. This will help us to work it out. As said, I'll try some tests without using veclib and let you know. I've fowarded this mail to r-devel, which seems to be the right place, so for future msg on the subject please use r-devel. stefano On

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

Hi, I saw on the mailing list and in the NEWS file that some unsafe math transformations were disabled for the reference BLAS implementation that is used in R. We have a set of performance tests for the OpenMx library, and some of the tests have a x3-10 slowdown in R 2.12.0 versus 2.11.1. When I copy the shared library libRblas.0.dylib from the 2.11.1 installation into the 2.12.0 installation,

In an implied call to an S3 print method, deparse(substitute(x)) returns "x", regardless of the name of object in .GlobalEnv, as indicated in the following: > Xnamed <- 1 > class(Xnamed) <- 'name.x' > print.name.x <- function(x, ...){ + namex <- deparse(substitute(x)) + cat('How can I get the name of x in .GlobalEnv?\n', +

On point 1): The standard approach seems to favor the reference BLAS for reasons other than speed. For example, vecLib, Apple's multi-threaded BLAS library, is not the default choice for macOS binaries due to concerns about 'precision'. See: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Whic h-BLAS-is-used-and-how-can-it-be-changed_003f This doesn't appear to be Mac-

Greetings on A.N. Kolmogorov's 100th birthday: I am sure that this is a resolved problem, certainly it has been raised in R help several times before, but I can't seem to find the right clue. I've recently upgraded a G4 to OS 10.2.5 and I thought I would have another go at installing R from source, after failing to accomplish this in 10.1. So with 1.7.0 from CRAN configure seems to
