Dear all, I just compiled R myself on my ubuntu 17.04 machine in order to be able to use the --enable-R-shlib option. The flags I used when compiling R are: ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas --with-lapack However, after freshly compiling gretl using latest git, I obtain an error that "make" cannot find the „gretl_foreign.lo“ since "make" looks into the wrong folder („/usr/share/R/"; which is the correct folder when installing R from the ubuntu reps.) but it should look into „/usr/local/share/R/" instead (where it is installed now using my own compilation). Unfortunately, I could not find a flag telling gretl to change the folder where to look for „gretl_foreign.lo“. Does anybody know how to change this accordingly?

Hi Helio, thank for your reply and the suggestion. I guess this would have been the most simple way to solve this issue. However, meanwhile I've found another workaround: I found out that I can tell gretl the correct paths in the file /lib/.deps/gretl_foreign.d. Unfortunately, this has to be done by hand but at least the installation works well. However, now trying to call the R library yields the following error: "To use Rlib, the variable R_HOME must be set". Asking R how R_HOME is set, gives me <R> Sys.getenv("R_HOME") [1] "/usr/local/lib/R" </R> Nevertheless, gretl has no idea how R_HOME is set :-( Any ideas on this?

Thank you, Helio. I guess I need to clean up stuff and try everything from scratch again. But let me ask you a last question: Do you use a Debian system by yourself (maybe ubuntu) as well as the pre-compiled R version which comes with the official reps? If this is the case, does the script below (from the manual) run on your machine? In the manual it is said that on a linux machine one needs to compile R manually using the --enable-R-shlib option; that's why I am asking. <gretl> set R_functions on foreign language=R plus_one <- function(q) { z = q+1 invisible(z) } end foreign scalar b=R.plus_one(2) </gretl> Artur On 16.09.2017 19:57, Hélio Guilherme wrote: I don't know. Using normal install of R runs fine, and I do not have defined R_HOME. If you did not install R, do the export R_HOME=/usr/local/lib/R Or start gretl like: R_HOME=/usr/local/lib/R gretl *My Favorite Open Source Projects awsome-lists <https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome> gretl <http://gretl.sourceforge.net/> meld <http://meldmerge.org/> robotframework <http://robotframework.org/> wxPython <https://wxpython.org/> *( *sponsored/patrocinado*) Recomendo servidores e alojamento Web em: http://www.proalojamento.com/clientes/aff.php?aff=258 On Sat, Sep 16, 2017 at 6:14 PM, Artur T. <artur.tarassow(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi Helio, thank for your reply and the suggestion.
