Could anyone please shed light on a problem I have in compiling the S
statistical package from AT&T on our Sun-3 system:
System specifics: Sun 3/260 under SunOS 3.4 using the m4 macro
processor supplied with the S system. S version date: Fri Feb 28 1986
Using the hints on compiling with BSD4.2 systems I only get apparently
harmless warnings under the compilation. This could for example be:
Warning on line 84 of hcp.f: local variable i never used
Warning on line 96 of stems.f: statement cannot be reached
f77: Warning: File with unknown suffix (/usr/local/src/s/S/newfun/lib/grz)
passed to ld
or
"dprint.c", line 20: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op =
Furthermore there are problems with the utility routine scandata.C, which
fails with error: too many local variables. This is fixed by making the
declaration of "table" global. Not pretty, but it works.
These are all the kinds of problems that appear during the
compilation, and it *will* result in an executable, except....
The f...ing system doesn't even know how to add two numbers, as seen in
the following:
One-time initialization for new S user in /usr.MC68020/iesd/tap/jpc ...
Directories swork and sdata created
> 1 + 2
Bad operator: +
Error in +

Running the tests supplied with the system ($A/DOTEST ALL) will not
give better results. This is an excerpt from $TEST/current/apply:
> prefix("apply.") # test of apply and multivariate stuff, some time-series
> $Random.seed_c(57,0,3,0,0,0,49,16,0,0,0,0) # to initialize at same spot
> matr_matrix(rnorm(100),20,5)
Invalid distribution: rnorm
Error in rnorm
Dumped
> print(cm_apply(matr,2,"mean")); apply(matr,2,"var")
apply.matr not found
Dumped
.
.
and more depressing errors...
Why does the prefix command work, while the matr_matrix(rnorm... stuff don't?
So, have *anybody* made this run on a Sun system, and how did you do it?
All suggestions or pointers to which direction I should go, are welcome.
regards,
