Help w. R texlive install
I'm running F12. I use texlive - however, the fedora version is too old (2007) and since I coordinate with others in writing papers - all of who use texlive 2009 - I have compatibility problems. (e.g. no biblatex, problems with natbib style files etc) So I installed the upstream 2009 texlive - which works perfectly and exactly the same as everyone else! Problem is I also need to install R - it has texlive as a dependency and doesn't see the already installed texlive - what is the right way to install R - but without it dragging in any fedora based texlive ? The only way I could think of was to hand install using rpm all the packages for R and its dependencies with --force but skipping the texlive ones - is there a better way ? thanks gene -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Re: Help w. R texlive install
Hi Gene, This is not a solution to your question, but you could file a bugzilla request to update texlive. Fedora maintainers are fabulous about fixing and updating things usually. One quick alternative for you is to drag in the TeXlive and then recompile and reinstall TeXlive 2009. But the RFE would perhaps be best and help several others at the same time by giving them an updated TeXlive system. Of course, you could download the binary directly from the R website also.

And so you can help to improve this packaging by using it and reporting bugs :-). But if you can't/don't want to remove your TeX Live installation, a (bad) solution could be to build an empty RPM that will simply contain a Provides: texlive 2007 or something like this to fool R packages. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I wasn't aware about this. Thanks for posting. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
