module load ATLAS/3.9.39

--with-blas="-L/sw/ATLAS/3.9.39/lib -lf77blas -latlas"
For systems with multiple processors it is possible to use a multi-threaded version of ATLAS,
by specifying
--with-blas="-L/sw/ATLAS/3.9.39/lib -lptf77blas -lpthread -latlas"

module load intel-cmkl-11/11.2.137
module load intel-cc-11/11.1.072


R can be linked to a sequential version of MKL by
MKL_LIB_PATH=/sw/sdev/intel/ComposerXE/composerxe-2011.2.137/mkl/lib/intel64/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MKL_LIB_PATH
MKL="-L${MKL_LIB_PATH} -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_core"
./configure --with-blas="$MKL" --with-lapack


Threaded MKL may be used by replacing the line defining the variable MKL with
MKL="-L${MKL_LIB_PATH} -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread \
-lmkl_lapack -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread"


The default number of threads will be chosen by the OpenMP* software, but can be controlled
by setting OMP_NUM_THREADS or MKL_NUM_THREADS.
Static MKL may be used with
MKL=" -L${MKL_LIB_PATH} \
-Wl,--start-group \
${MKL_LIB_PATH}/libmkl_gf_lp64.a \
${MKL_LIB_PATH}/libmkl_gnu_thread.a \
${MKL_LIB_PATH}/libmkl_core.a \
-Wl,--end-group \
-lgomp -lpthread"

The default linking model, which is also used by version 9 of MKL, can be used by
--with-blas="-lmkl -lguide -lpthread"
This is multi-threaded, but in version 9 the number of threads defaults to 1. It can be
increased by setting OMP_NUM_THREADS. (Thanks to Andy Liaw for the information.)

configure has many options: running
./configure --help

‘--with-x’
use the X Window System [yes]
‘--x-includes=DIR’
X include files are in DIR
‘--x-libraries=DIR’
X library files are in DIR
‘--with-readline’
use readline library (if available) [yes]
‘--enable-R-profiling’
attempt to compile support for Rprof() [yes]
‘--enable-memory-profiling’
attempt to compile support for Rprofmem() and tracemem() [no]
‘--enable-R-shlib’
build R as a shared/dynamic library [no]
‘--enable-BLAS-shlib’
build the BLAS as a shared/dynamic library [yes, except on AIX]
You can use ‘--without-foo’ or ‘--disable-foo’ for the negatives.
You will want to use ‘--disable-R-profiling’ if you are building a profiled executable
of R (e.g. with ‘-pg)’.
Flag ‘--enable-R-shlib’ causes the make process to build R as a dynamic (shared)
library, typically called ‘libR.so’, and link the main R executable ‘R.bin’ against that
library. This can only be done if all the code (including system libraries) can be compiled
into a dynamic library, and there may be a performance1 penalty.

If you need to re-configure R with different options you may need to run make clean or
even make distclean before doing so.

The default optimization settings chosen for CFLAGS etc are conservative. It is likely
that using ‘-mtune’ will result in significant performance improvements on recent CPUs
(especially for ‘ix86’): one possibility is to add ‘-mtune=native’ for the best possible
performance on the machine on which R is being installed: if the compilation is for a
site-wide installation, it may still be desirable to use something like ‘-mtume=core2’. It is
also possible to increase the optimization levels to ‘-O3’: however for many versions of the
compilers this has caused problems in at least one CRAN package.
For platforms with both 64- and 32-bit support, it is likely that
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib"
is appropriate since most (but not all) software installs its 64-bit libraries in
‘/usr/local/lib64’. To build a 32-bit version of R on ‘x86_64’ with Fedora 14 we used
CC="gcc -m32"
CXX="g++ -m32"
F77="gfortran -m32"
FC=${F77}
OBJC=${CC}
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
LIBnn=lib
64-bit versions of Linux are built with support for files > 2Gb, and 32-bit versions will
be if possible unless ‘--disable-largefile’ is specified.
