Hi- I'm trying to compile RdbiPgSQL 1.10 from source on Mac OS X with R 2.5. My postgres binaries come from macports, and I can do: == R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-pgsql- libraries=/opt/local/lib/postgresql82 --with-pgsql-includes=/opt/local/include/postgresql82" == And the libpq, etc is seen fine. However, postgres needs to link against libcrypto which also comes from macports and is in "/opt/local/lib". Getting an error like: == ld: warning can't open dynamic library: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/opt/local/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib referenced from: /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/libpq.dylib (checking for undefined symbols may be affected) (No such file or directory, errno = 2) ld: warning can't open dynamic library: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/opt/local/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib referenced from: /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/libpq.dylib (checking for undefined symbols may be affected) (No such file or directory, errno = 2) == (It really should be looking just under "/opt/local/lib" during the compile.) How can I get this to compile properly? I've tried passing variables via LDFLAGS, LIBS, and PKG_LIBS, and I've not found the right magic dust to get things to work properly. Thanks for any help, -albert

I would try the following: - Set and export environment variable PKG_LIBS to contain the library path for libssl: export PKG_LIBS="-L /opt/local/lib" - Now try R CMD INSTALL with the same --configure-args as before. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://bioconductor.org
