When I try to install Rmpi, it has a dependency rsprng which, as its description says: Provides interface to SPRNG 2.0 APIs
I installed it on Mepis by installing the appropriate debs with minimal drama. In the rpm world of Fedora, no such luxury. Installing rsprng fails because: checking sprng.h usability... no checking sprng.h presence... no checking for sprng.h... no Cannot find sprng 2.0 header file. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rsprng’ So, in my hunt for such, I went here: http://sprng.cs.fsu.edu/ The newest version is Version 4 which doesn't supply any sprng 2.0, so I tried Version 2, but it looks as though it's not been updated for 10 years and the instructions don't quite fit the names of the files. For whatever reason, make fails but the instructions for dealing with such don't match the file names so I couldn't work out what needed changing. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for an sprng 2.0 header file? _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 9.1 year 2009 month 06 day 26 svn rev 48839 language R version.string R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) I've also tried R-2.10.1 with similar failure.
