See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=286256 . It still needs some work but I can do "cranpkg -i genetics" and it will create and install packages for the genetics library and its dependencies. You will need to alter the LIBDIR variable if you are using R from testing with the cleaned up paths.
It would be great if people would let me know any failures/success. Cheers, Allan _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
