I am trying to install R on a SLED 10.1 machine. R-base-2.7.0-7.1-i586.rpm fails with
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/RPMs> rpm -Uvh R-base-2.7.0-7.1.i586.rpm warning: R-base-2.7.0-7.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 14ec5930 error: Failed dependencies: libgfortran.so.1 is needed by R-base-2.7.0-7.1.i586 I tried to trick it into believing there's the library by setting up the link: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/RPMs> ls -l /usr/lib/libgf* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2008-05-08 17:45 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-05-08 17:37 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3 -> libgfortran.so.3.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2251139 2008-05-01 09:43 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 but that did not work, either. I went on and installed GCC's gfortran, but it did not provide libgfortran.so.1 either: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/RPMs> ls -l /usr/irun/lib/libgf* -rw-r--r-- 1 1005 1011 4330512 2008-03-02 02:29 /usr/irun/lib/libgfortran.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 1005 1011 1009 2008-03-02 02:29 /usr/irun/lib/libgfortran.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 1005 1011 2509309 2008-03-02 02:29 /usr/irun/lib/libgfortran.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 1005 1011 2509309 2008-03-02 02:29 /usr/irun/lib/libgfortran.so.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 1005 1011 2509309 2008-03-02 02:29 /usr/irun/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 Any reason R wants that package instead of the newer one? Of course rpm --nodeps was an option, but then it fails to load r-stats with the same message about the missing library: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so': /usr/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so: undefined symbol: _gfortran_pow_r8_i4 During startup - Warning message: package stats in options("defaultPackages") was not found I am stuck... I am trying to compile R from 2.6.2 sources in the meantime, but that's painful for a Linux newbie like me on a brand-new computer that does not necessarily have all the packages. I almost want to switch to Ubuntu as R installation back there was a single click :)) -- Stas Kolenikov, also found at http://stas.kolenikov.name Small print: Please do not reply to my Gmail address as I don't check it regularly. ______________________________________________ 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.
