Package: r-base-dev Version: 2.7.1-2 Severity: important When installing an R package it fails to create the .so file. This happens with my own packages, as well as any I download from CRAN, for example I have the problem with MCMCpack:
% R CMD INSTALL -l ./lib MCMCpack g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 -DHAVE_TRUNC -fpic -g -O2 -c MCMCprobitres.cc -o MCMCprobitres.o g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 -DHAVE_TRUNC -fpic -g -O2 -c MCMCregress.cc -o MCMCregress.o make: `MCMCSVDreg.o' is up to date. g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DSCYTHE_COMPILE_DIRECT -DSCYTHE_DEBUG=0 -DHAVE_TRUNC -fpic -g -O2 -c MCMCtobit.cc -o MCMCtobit.o cp: cannot stat `*.so': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access `/tmp/lib/MCMCpack/libs/*': No such file or directory ERROR: compilation failed for package 'MCMCpack' ** Removing '/tmp/lib/MCMCpack' Note that it is missing the usual link line that would be something like: g++ -shared -Wl,-O1 -o MCMCpack.so ... I haven't changed any of the R configuration files, and it doesn't even work on my R package's src directory when I leave out the Makevars file altogether. Not sure if this is a problem with the Debian version or an issue upstream. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages r-base-dev depends on: ii build-essential 11.3 informational list of build-essent ii dpatch 2.0.29 patch maintenance system for Debia ii g++ 4:4.3.1-2 The GNU C++ compiler ii gcc 4:4.3.1-2 The GNU C compiler ii gfortran 4:4.3.1-2 The GNU Fortran 95 compiler ii libblas-dev 1.2-2 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii libbz2-dev 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libjpeg62-dev 6b-14 Development files for the IJG JPEG ii liblapack-dev 3.1.1-1 library of linear algebra routines ii libncurses5-dev 5.6+20080621-2 developer's libraries and docs for ii libpcre3-dev 7.6-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-dev 1.2.27-1 PNG library - development ii libreadline5-dev 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii r-base-core 2.7.1-2 GNU R core of statistical computin ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - development r-base-dev recommends no packages.
