Dear R-helpers, for the first time since R-0.6x I have to face installation problem. I switched to a new Linux-box (SuSE 9.0) and installed as many libraries as possible.
R-1.9.0.tgz went to /usr/local/lib and was extracted without problems. After running properly for a while, 'configure' (called without any switches) gave "configure: creating ./config.status" which was followed by "/bin/sh: relocation error: /bin/sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append". The last line obviously wasn't produced by 'configure' as it came via stderr. No makefile was created. I ran './config.status' followed by 'make'. After several minutes of behaving nice, the compilation process aborted with the following output: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library' sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append make[2]: *** [Rdfiles] Fehler 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library' make[1]: *** [docs] Fehler 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library' make: [docs] Fehler 2 (ignoriert) make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' MAKE="make" R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL -l ../../../library survival.tgz sh: relocation error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_completion_suppress_append make[2]: *** [survival.ts] Fehler 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' make[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Fehler 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library/Recommended' make: *** [stamp-recommended] Fehler 2 The same occured when trying to build R-1.8.0 on my new system. In contrast it configured and compiled nicely on my 4 year old Linux system. Can somebody help? Many, many thanks in advance! -- Uli Flenker Institute of Biochemistry German Sport University Cologne Carl-Diem-Weg 6 50933 Cologne +49(0)221/4982-5060 ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
