Our computing services people have recently reconfigured the Sun compilers structure on our network, and I can no longer install, on our Sun/Solaris machine, a certain package (spatstat) with which I am heavily involved. (The same problem may well pertain to other packages as well; I haven't yet experimented except with spatstat.)
Strictly speaking I can ***install*** it, but when I try to ***load*** it I get an error message: ===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+=== > library(spatstat) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/home/faculty/rolf/Rlib/spatstat/libs/spatstat.so': ld.so.1: R: fatal: relocation error: file /home/faculty/rolf/Rlib/spatstat/libs/spatstat.so: symbol __f95_sign: referenced symbol not found Error in library(spatstat) : .First.lib failed for 'spatstat' ===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+=== so something is going wrong with the install. I did nm on spatstat.so, and sure enough got ===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+=== $ nm spatstat.so | grep f95 [189] | 185004| 4|OBJT |LOCL |0 |20 |__f95__happiness . . . [195] | 185008| 4|OBJT |LOCL |0 |20 |__f95__happiness [512] | 0| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |__f95_sign ===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+=== so, yep, it's undefined. But what do I do about it? The ``R CMD INSTALL spatstat'' runs without complaint. Where is ``__f95_sign'' coming from? How do I rearrange things so that this symbol *can* be found? Could someone please gently point me in the right direction? I haven't a clue where to start. :-( Thanks for any hints. cheers, Rolf Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] P. S.
