Late Make Problem with Readline (PR#1673)

[jerfox@stanford.edu]

Full_Name: Jeremy Fox
Version: 1.5.0
OS: Solaris 8, 64 bit
Submission from: (NULL) (171.64.232.63)



I am compiling R under Solaris and the compilation stops at this point. The
problem only happens when I link in readline. The R binary is actually compiled
and readlne works.
The main problem with the compiled  binary (other than that all the supporting
files were not
correctly installed) is that it prints out the error 

Warning message: 
There is no package called `ctest' in: library(package, char = TRUE, logical =
TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,  

the first time I try to do something. It generally prints out only once, but may
be the
cause of the problem with the break in the make process I am worried about.

I am using 64 bit Solaris, with the 64 bit with Sun Forte flags as advocated in
Appendix
B. 7.2 of the Installation Guide. I compiled readline with the same flags. For
definiteness, they are

CC="cc -xarch=v9"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
F77="f95 -xarch=v9"
FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
CXX=CC
CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign -xarch=v9"

Without readline, the make command exectutes fine.  Here is the actual bug

mkdir -p -- ../../../../library/methods/libs
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/w/o/wolak/jerfox/RProj/R-1.5.0/src/library/methods/src'
make[4]: Leaving directory

make[4]: Entering directory
`/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/w/o/wolak/jerfox/RProj/R-1.5.0/src/library/methods'
dumping R code in package 'methods'
Warning message: 
There is no package called `ctest' in: library(package, char = TRUE, logical =
TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,  
Error in file == "" : comparison (1) is possible only for atomic types
Execution halted
make[4]: *** [../../../library/methods/R/all.rda] Error 1


The file all.rda is not created. This may be because of this unimportant error
message
about ctest that somehow involves the readline package. I am using Readline
4.2a.

Thanks for any help, Jeremy
