That's what I ended up doing. I've had complaints about blas, too, but I rpm-ed them out with --nodeps. I've compiled R from the sources (I had to add some -devel- packages, too), and then copied over the stats.*.so library from my fully successful 2.6.2 compilation to semi-successful 2.7.0 installation. So I cannot actually tell if I have 2.7.0 or 2.6.2 on this computer... and I don't know if any other problems may appear later.
And yes I have a ThinkPad although it is 32 bit. On 5/12/08, Horace Tso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Stas, this doesn't solve your problem but may shed some light on what might > have gone wrong.
