R help - Oct 1997 - R-beta: linux: problem installing R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm

Hi

Sorry to bother list members with this query but I can't find any relavent
documentation.

I just installed R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm for redhat linux but am missing
a library file. rpm complained and so does R. When I try to run R I get

/usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: can't load library 'libf2c.so.0'

What else do I need to install - i have g77 0.5.20 which works fine but
not f2c as I was advised against installing f2c because of possible
conflicts. If I need it what version do I need? 

Thanks a lot
Peter Baker
