[R] mzR fails to install/compile (linuxes)

[Peter Dalgaard]

This is almost certainly a Makefile error. Something (A) is relying on something (B) without stating the dependency explicitly in the Makefile. You can get away with that (sometimes) in a non-parallel make, because the sequence of compilations is such that B gets built before A. However, with a parallel make, one thread may try to build A before B gets built by another thread. 

The fix is to add the dependency in the Makefile (plus any other issues of the same kind). In this case, AFAICT, you need

mzR.so: cramp.o

in addition to what might be there already and any other stuff that is also missing. If there is already something like

mzR.so: $(OBJECTS)

chances are that there is a deficient macro definition earlier on, so that cramp.o is not contained in OBJECTS.
