This is prompted by trying to run the 'inline' package on Mac OS X Leopard = with R 2.10.1. Mac uses completely crazy temp paths and R uses those as wel= l. The inline package creates source files in the temp directory which it t= hen compiles with R CMD SHLIB and attaches. The compilation fails with the = error message below which seems to be caused by the complexity of the path = (compiling the same file with R CMD SHLIB and a sane path is ok, see below)= . What can look like an inline problem, in fact is not inline's as it fails= in exactly the same way when run from a command line (see below). It fails= on c, cpp, f files. For the inline package, I will get a workaround by set= wd to the location of the code and then setwd back, but generally one shoul= d be able to run R CMD SHLIB with any valid path, at least this one contain= s only alphanumerics and + and -.
