Just installed R 64 Bit precompiled binaries on Fedora Core 3 (Kernel 2.6.10)....http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/bin/linux/redhat/fc3/x86_64/R-2.0.1-0.f dr.1.x86_64.rpm
Was it not SuSE yesterday?
I am glad it works: it is hard to test RPMs as all our x86_64 machines were cloned from the one I built that RPM on.
And R seem to start right up. Problem....I a windows slave...and miss the handy R gui that come with the windows version (for doing repetitive tasks like loading packages and changing directories).
If I try R -g XLL...it still starts in the terminal mode. R --gui-gnome returns GNOME GUI not available in this verions.
A read of the manual reveals that I must compile GNOME Support with ./configure --with-gnome.
But I'm at a loss as to how to configure/compile R for 64 Bit using the source.
The same way you do it for 32-bit platforms: there is a manual with full details. On FC3 with enough tools (my machine has them all)
unpack tarball ./configure --with-gnome make
is all that is needed (except to make sure you run that version and not the RPM).
You are making assumptions about that GUI: it does not do anything like as much as the Windows one. It might be easier just to learn the command-line equivalents.
