Hello: I first tried it by using ./configure with the source files, but found that there is a huge problem with the gcc-g77 package, then I tried using the RPM obtained from CRAN, getting the following, the first of which appears to be another manifestation of the g77 problem:
linux:/tmp # rpm -i R-base-2.0.0-1.i586.rpm warning: R-base-2.0.0-1.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID a3278da3 error: Failed dependencies: libg2c.so.0 is needed by R-base-2.0.0-1 libglade-gnome.so.0 is needed by R-base-2.0.0-1 libglade.so.0 is needed by R-base-2.0.0-1 Do you have a suggestion about what I (a suse beginner) should do in order to get R up and running under suse 9.1? I have done some looking around and I do not see any package on suse for version 3.3.3 of the gcc-g77 package that corresponds to the gcc-g++ version 3.3.3, and I don't know if I am up to changing the versions of everything, so I hope I don't have to do that. Thanks in advance. I'm not a Suse user, but this probably means you are missing a couple packages that a required for the install. On a Fedora 2 box : [EMAIL PROTECTED] albert]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 libf2c-3.3.3-7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] albert]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libglade-gnome.so.0 libglade-0.17-13.2.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] albert]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libglade.so.0 libglade-0.17-13.2.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] albert]$ Do you have those files? If not, you might just need to install a couple of rpms, libf2c and libglade. They seem to be available for 9.1: http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_profess ional/libglade.html http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_professi onal/f2c.html What does "rpm -q f2c libglade" tell you?
