Sure Jeff, thanks a lot for the references. Will explore more and will also try to contact R-devel list for further help on cross compile. Thanks again to all for the quick responses. Thanks & Regards Sasi On Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 12:11 AM, Jeff Newmiller wrote: > There is a manual for compiling

There is a manual for compiling and installing R. There is also a mailing list (described in the Posting Guide) called R-devel where topics like compiling R are actually on topic, unlike here. If you have to cross-compile then you probably have a bit more work ahead of you than most users would

Thanks a lot Mike & others for the valuable input. I was wrong on debian linux on the embedded box, it is monta vista embedded linux. I hope, there is no R core package available for monta vista distribution and i may need to cross compile from R source. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks &

Thanks Mike. From source, i am able to compile and use R in my red hat linux box. I was trying to get hands on using R in linux box before trying R on the embedded box. My requirement is to run R (R scripts) on my embedded box which has customized debian linux (kernel version 2.6.32) in batch mode

Hi, Sasi. Yes, I think that getting familiar with R in a "friendly" context before dealing with your embedded system is a good idea. Note that the non-GUI part of R is more or less identical across platforms. Hence, you could experiment with it on a Macbook, a Surface tablet, etc., etc., if you'r

Thanks a lot Mike. The Linux distribution we use is "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2". Also, couple of clarifications, 1. Do we have a R package compatibility matrix against the Linux kernel version? Or for the Red Hat Linux with kernel version 2.6.32-279, do you have any suggestion/r

I couldn't tell from the OP's message what distribution they have installed. If it is redhat (or a derivative), the extra packages for enterprise linux (epel) has up-to-date R packages to install with yum. I have had some minor issues with installing A FEW (mostly GIS related) packages that were ea

I don't think kernel compatibility is a significant issue for most applications. I can say for certain that I update the kernels on my linux boxes without having to reinstall R. There *are* R packages for RHEL and friends. Have a look at: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/README Note

It's very likely that there is already an R package for your linux system, and, if so, you'd probably be well-served to use that one. You've given us the version of the kernel you're using (not a recent one, BTW), but what linux distribution are you using? -- Mike On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 3:59 PM,
