I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) from 8.04. After the upgrade, I ran update.packages(.libPaths()[1]) in R to get the packages installed from source up to date too. Unfortunately, two packages could not be updated: mclust and mboost. In both cases, the error I got mentioned lf77blas. Here's the output for mboost:
* Installing *source* package 'mboost' ... ** libs gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/share/R/include -fpic -g -O2 -c mboost.c -o mboost.o gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -o mboost.so mboost.o -lf77blas -latlas -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lf77blas collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mboost.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mboost' I guess this has something to do with the removal of the g77 package from Ubuntu 8.10. Is there anything I can do short of compiling g77 and/or R myself? _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
