I tried downloading the pre-built binaries of R from this website and then installing the rpms but is seems they depend on so many other packages to be installed first. I tried simply the R package first:
warning: R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 217521f6 error: Failed dependencies: R-devel = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 libRmath-devel = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 Then when I tried to install those packages there were more dependencies: warning: R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 217521f6 error: Failed dependencies: R-core = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 bzip2-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 gcc-gfortran is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 libX11-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 pcre-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 pkgconfig is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 tcl-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 tetex-latex is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 tk-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 So I thought perhaps R-core would have everything needed to install and run R but still: warning: R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 217521f6 error: Failed dependencies: libgfortran.so.1()(64bit) is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 perl(File::Copy::Recursive) is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 tetex-latex is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 xdg-utils is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64 Is there any way I can get an RPM that has all the necessary packages built in to install and run R? Or do I have to find all these packages that are needed to install these 'R' rpms for which many are not found on the FedoraProject website (libgfortran, gcc-fortran....). Also which 'R' rpm would I use to simply run R on the linux machine, would it be R-core?
