Hi Folks, Sorry to bring up this kind of issue (though any discussion may help some other people).
I've just installed Red Hat 9 Linux (opting for GNOME) and now want to install R. I downloaded the RPM for Red Hat 9 from CRAN (as well as the patched readline). Attempting to install ( rpm -i R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm ) I get, pretty quickly, the following: warning: R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 97d3544e error: Failed dependencies: libtk8.3.so is needed by R-1.7.1-1 I guess the "warning" can be ignored, but I'm bothered by the failed dependency. A: There are libtcl8.3.so and libtcl.so under /usr/lib; B: There's various "libgtk" under /usr/lib; C: There's no "libtk" D: I can't find any explicit reference to "libtk" in the installation GUI when the installation CDs are being used. So, even if libtk is in there somewhere, I can't find where to look for it. (I don't want to install everything in sight, because of restricted disk space). I suspect that "libgtk" is a GNOMEified version of libtk ... ? Usually, in my Linux experience, tcltk is a unified bunch of stuff which installs everthing for both Tcl and Tk; Red Hat 9 seems to be different (and it's my first experience of this version). ANYWAY: Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it? Or am I overlooking something simple? Comments (and especially solutions) will be most welcome. With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 18-Sep-03 Time: 12:58:45 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
