similar to: R-devel no longer supports Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (insufficient PCRE version)

For the record ...

I think you have it backwards: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support R-devel .... PCRE 8.32 is 3 years old, so Ubuntu 14.04 shipped an already quite old version 19 months ago. R has long said that its requirement was PCRE (version 8.10 or later, preferably 8.32 or later) and 8.32 is indeed preferable: the aim is that all the current PCRE regex syntax be usable on all platforms. Given that you

Hi For the record, Dirk (after a couple of false starts and admirable persistance!) has got this to work for me. So on Ubuntu 14.04, adding Dirk's PPA, followed by apt-get update pulls down a backport for libpcre3. Thanks Dirk!

Using --with-pcre1 to configure the latest R 4.0 (revision 77988) on an Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS system gives me the following error: ... checking if lzma version >= 5.0.3... yes checking for pcre2-config... no checking for pcre_fullinfo in -lpcre... yes checking pcre.h usability... yes checking pcre.h presence... yes checking for pcre.h... yes checking pcre/pcre.h usability... no checking

Thanks Tomas. Any chance the old version of the error message could be restored? It would definitely be more helpful than the current one. It's confusing to get an error and be told to use --with-pcre1 when you're already using it. H. On 3/18/20 01:08, Tomas Kalibera wrote: > On 3/17/20 8:18 PM, Herv?

Hi All, I am compiling R-devel on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.2) and that works just fine, but I am missing some of the expected features, as shown here: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Linux In particular, after configure (using all defaults), I see: R is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [...] Interfaces supported: X11 External libraries:

Hi there, ubuntu 18.04.2, trying to compile R-devel 3.6.0, svn 76155. I am having difficulty compiling R.

A couple of weeks back there was some discussion about documenting the regular expressions as used in R. Several years ago the problem was that this was OS-dependent, and to plug that problem we incorporated regexp code from a version of GNU grep, later updated to grep-2.4.2 in R 1.2.0. I have been looking at documenting what grep(perl=TRUE) does, and we have a similar problem in that the

Hello, Got some at the time surprising errors some days ago when building a local r-devel installation on a cluster, with apparent outdated or missing dev versions of some files. After reading the r-devel news ( https://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS), it turned out that " Use of the included versions of ?zlib?, ?bzlib?, ?xz? and PCRE is deprecated: these are frozen and

thanks for this guys. I only compiled pcre myself as a last resort, because of the ./configure failure.

Done r-base-dev is already the newest version (3.5.2-1cosmic). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to

Still something wrong. I've uncommented the deb-src lines in sources.list as you suggested (and I thought it couldn't hurt to try --allow-unauthenticated as well) and: root at limpet:/etc/apt# apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated Hit:1 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:2 http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease Hit:3
