Compiling R on Linux using Intel Composer XE
I’ve mostly followed these instructions, making a few minor changes as necessary. The entire process took the better part of a day.
- download the R source tarball from CRAN (I used R 2.15.2) and unpack it
> wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.15.2.tar.gz > tar xvzf R-2.15.2.tar.gz - you need a minimum version of icpc 12.1 to compile Rcpp, due to this bug (as well as icc & ifort)
> module load intel/2011.9.293 Lyra: Intel Studio (composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293) module loaded. > icpc -V Intel(R) C++ Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 12.1.3.293 Build 20120212 Copyright (C) 1985-2012 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
- in the source directory, edit the config.site file as follows:
CC=icc CFLAGS="-g -O3 -wd188 -ip" F77=ifort FFLAGS="-g -O3 -fp-model source" SHLIB_LDFLAGS="-shared" LIBnn=lib64 ICCROOT=/pkg/suse11/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293 ICC_LIBS=$ICCROOT/compiler/lib/intel64/ LDFLAGS="-L$ICC_LIBS -L/usr/lib64" CXX=icpc CXXFLAGS="-g -O3 -fp-model source" SHLIB_CXXLD=icpc SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS="-shared" FC=ifort FCFLAGS="-g -O3 -fp-model source" MKLPATH=$ICCROOT/mkl/lib/intel64 MKLINCLUDE=$ICCROOT/mkl/include BLAS_LIBS="-L$MKLPATH -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -lm"
-
./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-R-shlib --enable-memory-profiling
This step alone took about 2.5 hours to run.
-
make
-
make install
By default, R will be installed under $HOME/bin with configuration files in $HOME/lib64/R

- in the R home directory, edit the etc/Makeconf file as follows:
MKLROOT = /pkg/suse11/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293/mkl BLAS_LIBS = -L$(MKLROOT)/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -lm ## LAPACK_LIBS =
- now compile any additional packages from source – for example:
