I have just installed the version of R for Linux Enterprise Server AS.

Is the `RedHat Linux Enterprise Server AS'? AFAIK, there is no version of R for any specific RHEL, but there are versions like 2.0.1.
If you installed an RPM, please tell us so, and which one from where.


When R is launched, I receive the following error message:

R: error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.o cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

I very much suspect it is libg2c.so.0.

I have added the path to the library

It should be in /usr/lib if you have the prerequisites installed.
It may be that you have libg2c.so.0 there, linked to a non-existent file.


above to the /usr/etc/ld.so.conf file and then run ldconfig -v. The listing then shows that the libg2c.so.o is included in the path. Please advise.

You need to know where R's home is. Normally R RHOME will tell you, but that might give the same error. So use


grep '^R_HOME_DIR' `which R`

and then substitute it in

R CMD ldd R_HOME_DIR/bin/exec/R

My FC3 system with gcc-3.4.3 and readline-5.0 installed from source gives

gannet% R CMD ldd /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/R
        libblas.so.3 => /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 (0x0094e000)
        libg2c.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0xb7fc0000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00b4f000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7fb7000)
        libreadline.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5 (0xb7f8d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00948000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x04c8b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0081c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00803000)

and then see if the place it resolves libg2c.so.0 to is an actual file.
