So, tried again from scratch. Again, CentOS 5.3, which is essentially RHEL 5.3. ./configure --with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml" In config.log, get things like configure:37199: checking for dgemm_ in -L/opt/acml4.3.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml configure:37230: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib64 conftest.c

While I recently received some very helpful files and email from Kevin Hendricks for compiling with ATLAS, thought I'd first have a stab at ACML. Having problems, which I suspect are trivial to solve: 1. machine is running RHEL 4, meaning, it uses gcc 3.4.5 out of the box, and g77. In my experience, over-riding RHEL's choice, and manually upgrading to gcc 4.x.x (and, as a consequence

Well, CentOS 5.3, which amounts to the same thing. I recently decided to upgrade my main research machine from Fedora Core 8 -> CentOS 5.3. Basically, I was looking to move to a distro with longer 'term-of-life' than the release schedule for Fedora currently allows. The machine is a multi-Opteron box, so both 32- and 64-bit apps natively supported. Since I do a lot of 'linear

Greetings - For a host of reasons I chose (was forced) to upgrade my multi-Opteron box from Fedora 7 -> Fedora 8. In the process, I also updated the ACML I had installed from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0. While I get no errors (that I can find) in the config -> make -> make install sequence, I'm pretty sure (based on some benchmarks) that I'm not getting BLAS and/or Lapack to compile in. So,

Have been running 2.5.1 on my multi-pro Opteron box running Fedora Core 5 with no problems. Had compiled previously with no problems. However, for a variety of reasons (mostly due to ACML upgrade), I tried a recompile using the following sequence of commands (note I'm compiling in ACML support for blas): LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/acml3.6.1/gfortran64/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./configure

Hi, Has anyone had any luck in using portland group compiler to build R(-devel) with AMD's pgi compiled ACML library? I've downloaded the packages and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and run configuration script as follow: % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R.pgcc --with-blas='-lacml' However, it failed to pick up double complex BLAS, checking for sgemm_ in -lacml... yes checking

I am encountering segfaults when checking the lme4 package on an Athlon64 system if I use the acml blas. R was built as a 64-bit application using the GCC 4.0.3 compiler suite including gfortran. The version of acml is 3.5.0 gfortran64. I do not encounter the segfaults when I compile R with R's built-in BLAS. The errors occur in the first example in lme4 in a call to lmer. It looks like

I'm trying to build R-devel with AMD's ACML. I downloaded version 3.0.0 64bit for gfortran (acml-3-0-0-gfortran-64bit.tgz) and copied the libraries to /usr/local/lib. When I configure R to build against the ACML library, how do I know if the library has been detected and will be used? I run 'configure' with the '--with-blas=-lacml' flag and am using gcc 4.0.2 (with

Greetings - I'm trying to compile R under GNU/Linux (RHEL 4) on a multi-Opteron box, with ACML support. First, I downloaded and installed ACML 3.5 - GNU version, although I'm not entirely sure what the differences are - from the AMD website. The ACML libraries were installed to /opt/acml3.5.0/ Second, I ran ./configure --with-blas='-lacml' The configure went fine,

Quick followup. Confirmed that TCl/Tk are both installed on the machine (they are, in both 32- and 64-bit flavours), as are all tcl and tk-related libs, devel packages, and about everything else I could find. It occurred to me that perhaps the R I compiled isn't 'tcltk' aware. I checked the config.log, and there is some hint that this might be the case. Just before ## File

I am trying to get R to use the ACML BLAS, specifically the 'mp' version for multithreading. I have installed acml-4-4-0-gfortran-64bit I added /opt/acml4.4.0/gfortran64_mp/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I ran: sudo ./configure --with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.4.0/gfortran64_mp/lib -lacml_mp" At the end of the configuration, the only external library listed is readline, and at the end

Dear R-devel, Has anyone played with this? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html <http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html> .

Hi, I'm having problems using ACML with R. I made two changes in config.site by setting LDFLAGS="-L/opt/acml3.1.0/gnu64/lib" BLAS_LIBS="-lacml" ./config and make go through but when I try to use the lm() function, I get the error message Error in chol2inv(Qr$qr[p1, p1, drop = FALSE]) : lapack routines cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: unable to load

I have problems building R 2.11.1 with an external BLAS. I've tried several with several libraries: # ACML: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/site/VERSIONS/acml-3.6.0/gfortran64_int64/lib BLAS=--with-blas="-L/site/VERSIONS/acml-3.6.0/gfortran64_int64/lib -lacml" LAPACK=--with-lapack # MKL 11: BLAS=--with-blas="-L/site/VERSIONS/intel-11.1/mkl/lib/em64t -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_sequential

Hallo, I've just installed R on our Opteron System (AMD Opteron 246). Running make check-all results in a failure during the lapack test: > ## ------- tests of random real and complex matrices ------ > > ## 100 may cause failures here. > eigenok <- function(A, E, Eps=1000*.Machine$double.eps) + { + V <- E$vect; lam <- E$values +

dear experts I'd like to ask you, probably on behalf all of us who try to use AMD's ACML for performance optimisation a question. There seem to be problem when these two, R and ACML are coupled, described here: http://devgurus.amd.com/message/1255852#1255852 I'd like to ask, while not being a programmer/developer, how incorrect and dangerous this might be? maybe such a setup must

Full_Name: Mike Pacey Version: 2.6.0 OS: SuSe Linux 9.3 x86_64 Submission from: (NULL) (194.80.32.10) A "vanilla" version of R configures and compiles without a problem on my system. Switching to using the PGI compiler configures correctly (see the values at the bottom fo thismessage), but compilation aborts with: pgcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2

Hi, I have additional comments on building R with PGI compiler. If one wants to use external BLAS library, then pgf90 instead of pgf77 should be used, and BLAS_LIBS flags should be set. e.g. F77 = $PG_HOME/bin/pgf90 BLAS_LIBS='-L/opt/acml2.7.0/pgi64/ -lacml' # for ACML library BLAS_LIBS='-L/usr/lib64 -lg2c -lblas' # for generic BLAS library that comes

Dear R-devel, [I'm not sure if this is appropriate for R-devel. If not, I'm more than happy to move it to R-help.] As those of you who saw my post on R-help know, I've been trying to build R-patched on a dual Opteron box running Scyld Beowulf, using the PGI 6.1 compilers. The build went fine, but I couldn't get it to pass make check-all. Jennifer Lai, who reported success with
