Hello Ying, This is really a Fedora Core 6 question. But anyway, it appears that you do not have gfortran which comes in the appropriate development package installed.
Assuming you use yum, you find out the RPM using the following yum provides gfortran which will give you the RPM which contains the binary for gfortran. gcc-gfortran 4.1.1-51.fc6 If yum says this is installed, then your path is not set right. Otherwise, go ahead and install using yum install gcc-gfortran as root or with sudo privileges. HTH. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan On Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:47:51 -0800 (PST) YI ZHANG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear all, > I met a problem when installing new packages on R, my system is linux > fedora 6.0, the following is output. please help me.
