I did a standard install of R on Fedora 13 using yum as root, which I assumed installed both the base packages and the devel packages needed to install R Commander (there weren't any optional packages listed on the yum info page). My version of R is updated to the latest 2.11 version.
But, running install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE) as root, within R produces the following errors: (Last few of a looooong list): ** building package indices ... ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/ tcltk.so': /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded ERROR: loading failed * removing ‘/usr/lib/R/library/Rcmdr’ The downloaded packages are in ‘/tmp/RtmpDSqgk5/downloaded_packages’ Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library' Warning messages: 1: In doTryCatch(return(expr), name, parentenv, handler) : unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so': /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size 2: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'aplpack' had non-zero exit status 3: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'relimp' had non-zero exit status 4: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'rgl' had non-zero exit status 5: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'RODBC' had non-zero exit status 6: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'Rcmdr' had non-zero exit status It seems I am missing some packages needed to compile and run R Commander, but I can't figure out which. I did a standard install of R from yum on Fedora 13, so I'm not sure which other packages I need. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
