I've build R on SXCE nv84.

It would be nice to get spec-files into the spec-files-extra project so
that end users can more easily build these products with the CBE.
spec-files-extra is discussed here:

Yes, it'd be easy as R doesn't need any patches, but there is a problem. Unless
you're building with ss12/ssexpress, you'll need ATLAS or at least some
rudimentary blas library (I think R includes one). Using the rudimentary ones
won't give expected performance though.
So I think, first some wo
... And I don't think redistributing binaries built with SS12/exp would be any
good. They'd be dependent on perflib, which isn't freely redistributable.
Also, can someone coax Intel/AMD into releasing their math libraries on
OS/nevada/solaris ?
