I have just upgraded from Red Hat Linux 5.2 to version 6.0 (with GNOME) on an intel box. I have also upgraded to the latest R version (0.64.1-2 rpm) and have also installed the corresponding GNOME rpm. However, I am not able to start R: [cribari at edgeworth install]$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: undefined symbol: __setfpucw [cribari at edgeworth install]$ R --gnome /usr/lib/R/bin/R.gnome: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/R/bin/R.gnome: undefined symbol: __setfpucw This must be a version compatibility problem, I guess. Is there a fix for that (short of compiling R)? Thanks in advance.

FC.That symbol is a holdover from bygone days when, by default, a program run on Linux set up the floating point hardware in a non-IEEE-compatible way. With recent versions of the glibc that routine no longer exists. I don't think you will be able to install the prepackaged RPM file easily. You may want to try a compile from the sources instead. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

You have RedHat 6.0. I can't guarantee binary compatibility across major releases of RedHat Linux. You might try installing compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1.i386.rpm and anything else beginning with "compat-" to see if that helps, but this is just a guess. I will produce RPMs for RedHat 6.0 just as soon as I get hold of it, but since it only started shipping on Monday, it is a bit early yet.
