Thanks for your responses! I guess R was installed using the enterprise version (not fedora) rpm package. The version of libgfortran is "libgfortran43-4.3.2-7.el5" and I have libgfortran.so.3.
>From your email, I understand that libgfortran.so.1 is different from libgfortran.so.3, and that _gfortran_copy_string is not used in the libgfortran.so.3. Is that correct? I see the libgfortran.so.1 is available for Fedora. would it work on RHEL5? If not, where can I download libgfortran.so.1 for RHEL5? Thanks much in advance.
