The link_again
function links again the OpenBLAS library with the R language, being useful to correct problems
of untying the OpenBLAS library that is common when the operating system is updated.
link_again(restart_r = TRUE)
If TRUE
(default), a new section of R is started after linking the OpenBLAS library.
The function link_again
be able to link again the R language with the OpenBLAS library. Thus, link_again will only make the
relinkagem when in some previous section of R the ropenblas function has been used for the initial binding of the R language with the
OpenBLAS library.
Relinking is useful in situations of updating the operating system. In some update, it is possible that the OpenBLAS library compiled
in the /opt
directory is unlinked. In this scenario, when the OpenBLAS library has already been compiled using the ropenblas
function, the link_again
function performs a new link without the need to recompile, thus making the process less time
consuming.
In situations where there was a disconnection due to an update of the operating system, the ropenblas
function can be used to
re-link the OpenBLAS library with the R language, however, it will be necessary to compile the
OpenBLAS library again. If you are interested in recompiling the
OpenBLAS library and linking with R, use the ropenblas
function. If the
interest is to take advantage of a previous compilation of the OpenBLAS library, the
function link_again
may be useful.
