Dear all, I am "still" fairly new to R and newer still to linux (opensuse). I want to install a package called "FEAR" from "http://www.clemson.edu/economics/faculty/wilson/Software/FEAR/fear-download.html". So, I downloaded the tar.gz file called "FEAR-linux-64bit-2.6.16.60-0.21-smp.tar.gz" and it is in the directory "/home/sambit/Downloads" right now. Then I invoked R from terminal and keyed in > install.packages("/home/sambit/Downloads/FEAR-linux-64bit-2.6.16.60-0.21-smp.tar.gz", > repos=NULL) Installing package(s) into ‘/home/sambit/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.13’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) * installing *binary* package ‘FEAR’ ...
* DONE (FEAR) So, I think that the installation was successful. But when I load the package, > library(FEAR) Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/home/sambit/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.13/FEAR/libs/FEAR.so': libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: package/namespace load failed for 'FEAR' I do not know what to do right now. I would really appreciate it someone could point out the next step. Thanks in advance.
