Your subject line is misleading: you ignored a warning during make.

The solution is not to specify all the confgure flags you can think of, and allow R to choose. Only once you have it working with the defaults try substituting other libraries.

Your particular problem is that you have a non-shareable liblapack in your library path. Do see the warnings about this on 64-bit systems in the
R-admin manual (you know, the one the INSTALL file asks you to read if you run into problems!).

Dear all,

I've started using a new Linux server, upgraded at the same time to R-2.1.0 (see above) and have problems with some elementary analysis that ran without a problem on my previous configuration.

anova.glm gives the following error:

Error in La.chol2inv(x, size) : lapack routines cannot be loaded

This was with the after the following configure

./configure --with-readline --prefix=/opt/R-2.1.0 --with-libpng --with-jpeglib --with-pcre --without-x

The obvious thing to try next was:

./configure --with-readline --prefix=/opt/R-2.1.0 --with-libpng --with-jpeglib --with-pcre --without-x --with-lapack

but this gave errors at the make:

I've found some similar postings about Debian, but without a soluition.

I am unaware of any unresolved issues of this type that are not covered in the installation manual.
