[BUGZILLA #2378] rsprng doesn't install on Debian (woody) #1596

From: charpent@<::CENSORED -- SEE ORIGINAL ON BUGZILLA::> Full_Name: Emmanuel Charpentier Version: 1.6.1 OS: Linux 2.4.20 / Debian Woody Submission from: (NULL) (80.15.78.96)

rsprng depends on libraries available in the "genesis" package. However, even when Genesis is installed, the installation of the source package fails for not finding rsprng.h. It turns out that Debian installs it in a subdirectoru of /usr/include, and that the rsprng packages assumes that it is located in /usr/include.

I have but a suggestion : allow the rsprng installation to look in /usr/include subdirectories.

Sincerely,

                       Emmanuel Charpentier

Executive Summary:

The Debian genesis package contains SPRNG v1.0. The R RSPRNG package is really set up to use SPRNG v2.0. There are extremely crude RPM/DEB packages of v2.0 for Intel Linux at

 http://software.biostat.washington.edu/~rossini/cluster_computing/

(I should stress again, they are fairly crude; but they work on our machines, and apparently, on some other people's machines as well).

best, -tony
