Stas, this doesn't solve your problem but may shed some light on what might have gone wrong. Just recently I installed R 2.7.0 under openSuse 10.3 in a brand new 64-bit Lenovo ThinkPad. The first install failed because of a dependency error just like yours. It complained it couldn't find BLAS and libgfortran. I then got on the varous repositories and installed a couple flavours (don't remember how many) of fortran and finally it went through. Right now, in my /usr/lib64, i have libgfortran.so.2.0.0.

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. ______________________________________________ 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.
