I downloaded R-Patched today (to see if another problem I want to ask about is still present or if its just me - as per the posting guide). I ran "tools/rsync-recommended" successfully. I then ran "configure --enable-R-shlib" successfully. Then make stops with the following error.
gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o tools.so text.o init.o Rmd5.o md5.o -L../../../../lib -lR mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/tools/libs make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/src/R-patched/src/library/tools/src' make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/src/R-patched/src/library/tools/src' Error in file(datafile, "wb") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file '/usr/local/lib/R/library/tools/R/tools.rdb', reason 'Permission denied' Execution halted make[3]: *** [all] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/src/R-patched/src/library/tools' make[2]: *** [R] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/src/R-patched/src/library' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/src/R-patched/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 The tools.rdb file is on my system from a previous build -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90486 2005-08-04 18:54 /usr/local/.../tools.rdb As you can see from the output above, I am not trying to build in /usr/local/... at all so I am puzzled as to why anything is being done in /usr/local/ before the "make install". Can anyone suggest what I should try? I am compiling on SuSE Linux version 9.2. Thank you. Kevin -- Kevin E.
