BUG: R configure on ALPHA/OSF1

[wang_m@…]

I am stuck in the installation of "R" on ALPHA runing OSF1/V5.1 for individual use. When I ran "./configure CC=cc F77=f77 Make=gmake ", the following message came out,

506426:/usr/users/1/mwang2/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R: /sbin/loader: Error: libreadline.so.4: symbol "tgetflag" unresolved 506426:/usr/users/1/mwang2/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R: /sbin/loader: Fatal Error: Load of "/usr/users/9/jlim/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R" failed: Unresolved symbol name,

...

Oh, a little explanation: /usr/users/1/mwang2/ is my home directory in this Jonas Machine and I should just install "R" by myself for personal use.

It seems the executable "R" has been made, but some parameters/flags are missing.

I checked some information about "R" installation on Alpha/OSF1, it seems I should define some flags. I tried some flags, for example, CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/freeware/include" LDFlAGS="-l/usr/freeware/lib" Shlib_CXXLDFLAGS="-l/lib/cmplrx/cxx", I also put $home/freeware/include, $home/freeware/lib and $home/freeware/lib to my LD_Library_Path. Unfortunately these still didn't work.

Any suggestions about the configure on ALPHA/OSF1 ?

Thanks!

are you aware of that our officially supported OSs are all Darwin based?

ALPHA/OSF1 is not supported by the darwinports ports tree
