"Liaw, Andy"
Hi,
Can someone tell me if it's possible to get the GCC 3.4.x suite for x86_64? We are running on SLES8, which has gcc version 3.3 20030312 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux). I just downloaded SLES 9, and see that it has GCC 3.3.3.
The problem I'm runing into is that I'm running up against what is most likely a compiler bug that caused numerical problems in R (www.r-project.org). For some background on the problem, see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2004-July/030260.html. Some people reported success after upgrading to 3.4.x. I tried building GCC 3.4.3 and 3.4.2 from source, but the test failed.
Would appreciate any pointers...
Best, Andy
Hi (again) Andy, The toolchain in 9.1 (gcc 3.3.3) is known good for the purpose (for at least one R developer anyway...). How about taking the source RPM for that and rebuild on SLES8? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
