Oh, I missed that. I always thought that since refblas3 is written in Fortran 77 the package must be depending on libg2c0. > So after all it seems that right now it is very possible to install R > without having to install another compiler or compile any source code. > How about it? So if you choose refblas3 instead of atlas3-base, it seems there is no problem installing r-base without any GCC 3.4 packages, at least in Debian unstable. $ aptitude show gcc-3.4-base | grep "^State" State: not installed $ aptitude show libg2c0 | grep "^State" State: not installed $ aptitude -s -R install r-base refblas3 ... The following NEW packages will be installed: libpaper-utils libpaper1 r-base r-base-core r-cran-boot r-cran-cluster r-cran-foreign r-cran-kernsmooth r-cran-lattice r-cran-mgcv r-cran-nlme r-cran-rpart r-cran-survival r-cran-vr r-recommended refblas3 tk8.4 zlib-bin The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: r-base-dev r-base-html r-base-latex So what is the problem here? Or is it a different situation in Ubuntu?
