R SIG Fedora - Nov 2011 - installing 2.14.0 on fedora

Hi: Does anyone know of instructions for installing R.2.14.0 on
fedora-linux ( I'm using f14 ) using only the tar.gz file. I don't think
it's available at the fedora repo so I can't use yum. I've look at
the
R-installation instructions but I didn't get very far with that.  Even just
an internet link is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd like to know that too. "yum info R" shows that the repository
is
lagging by two versions of R.  I've asked about getting that updated on
fedoraforums.

Hi Jose: I started totally from scratch and did that yum-builddep R as you
suggested.

 Then I checked out the latest R 2.14 branch using svn.  But now, when I
try to configure, I get an error that  it can't find the MASS package ?

Do you know if MASS is supposed to be available for R .2.14 ? It is not in
/src/library of the source tree but the makefile.in there has below in it
which I think makes it look for MASS ? I wasn't getting this earlier so
could it have something to do with running yum-builddep R before I started
?  Is there a way to "undo"
the yum-builddep R command if that's the case ?

Any knowledge or help is appreciated. Thanks.
