NO Hi. I'm not sure if this is an R-help or R-devel problem, so I'm starting here in the hope that someone can help (and willing to go to the other list if it's more appropriate). I think I am following all of the instructions in the various manuals, but clearly I am missing something.
I have an Intel EM64T Dell with 2 dual-core Xeon processors running Red Hat EL5. I would like to build R 2.6.1 with lots of debugging and profiling options, and link it to the processor-specific Intel MKL blas. The problem is that after I compile R, and do R CMD config BLAS_LIBS, the response is -L/usr/local/lib64/R/lib -lRblas. This tells me that R is not linked to the Intel BLAS at all. My config.site file for R is: #! /bin/sh R_PAPERSIZE=letter CFLAGS="-g -O2 -p -pg" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.1.014/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include" LIBnn=lib64 BLAS_LIBS="-L/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.1.014/lib/em64t -Wl,--start-group -lmkl_gf_lp64.so -lmkl_gnu_thread.so -lmkl_core.so -l -l -l -Wl, --end-group -lguide -lpthread -lm" I have set the CONFIG_SITE environment variable to the location of the config.site.file. I am doing everything as superuser. The command I am using for configure is ./configure --disable-R-profiling --with-blas=no following the instructions in the R-admin file regarding enabling C-level profiling and linking to the external BLAS libraries referenced in the config.site file. The BLAS_LIBS files are different than in the R-admin manual because of changes in the Intel MKL for version 10. These libraries, in this order, were taken from the Intel MKL for Linux User's Guide, chapter 5. So, still no luck linking to the optimized BLAS. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
