[Rd] Debian Woody r-base depends on blas2 (PR#1089)
Full_Name: Michael J. O'Donnell Version: 1.3.1-1 OS: Linux, Debian Woody distribution Submission from: (NULL) (64.34.17.133) I tried to install the R packages for the Debian GNU/Linux Woody distribution. I added "deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian woody main" to my /etc/apt/sources.list, and ran dselect with the apt-get method. I selected all of the R packages that I could find. The installation appeared to fail, because r-base and r-recommended both depend on blas2. I cannot find a Debian package for blas2 in the Debian archives, nor in the CRAN archives. blas1 is in the Debian archives for both Potato and Woody. I also checked the package list for your Debian Potato distribution, and I found no dependence on blas2 nor on blas1 there.

Blas2 is a so-called "virtual package" which is provided by the actual blas1 package, as well as by any of the four atlas2 packages (atlas2-base, atlas2-p3, atlas2-p4, atlas2-athlon). I highly recommended the atlas2 packages (esp if one matches your processor) as the speed gain can be tremendous for linear algebra operations Also, I'd recommend using apt-get instead of dselect; a simple $ apt-get update; apt-get install r-base should have resolved that dependency for you. Note that you can pick a closer mirror; I use cran.us.r-project.org. Hope that helps, Dirk -- Our DSL access will be shut off September 10 due to the bankruptcy of Rhythms, and the inability of Ameritech to respond in a timely fashion. An optimistic view is that we might be back online by the end of September. -- Dirk -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel 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 !)
