I believe Martyn recently compiled a list of RedHat packages that were necessary to install the RPMs and placed them somewhere easily findable. That was for Red Hat 9. Javier appears to be using Red Hat 8.0 (NB Javier NOT Linux 8.0). I haven't got round to doing a list for 8.0. The R RPMS for Red Hat only depend on other packages that are distributed with Red Hat Linux. Your primary source for the required RPMS should therefore be the set of CDs that you used to install Red Hat, or the Red Hat web site: http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html The error message means that you forgot to become super user (root) before attempting to install R.

I believe Martyn recently compiled a list of RedHat packages that were necessary to install the RPMs and placed them somewhere easily findable. The RH BLAS RPM can be installed from the RPM Package Manager under Engineering and Scientific Applications if you have the RH installation CDs. Alternatively, you can get it from RPMSeek at: http://rpmseek.com/rpm/blas-3.0-18.i386.html?hl=comcs=blas:PN:0:0:0:0:212061 The lock message, assuming that it may be the result of multiple processes or an incomplete process, can generally be removed by using: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* as root.
