R devel - Dec 2006 - Missing install libraries for R on OpenSuse 10.2 (PR#9425)

Full_Name: Matja? Jeran
Version: R-base-2.4.1-2.1.i58
OS: OpenSuse linux 10.2
Submission from: (NULL) (85.10.21.55)


I have a FRESH installation of Opensuse linux 10.2
I have downloaded R from http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/suse/10.2/
When I tried to install it the message about missing dependencies appeared:

error: Failed dependencies:
	blas is needed by R-base-2.4.1-2.1.i586
	libgfortran.so.1 is needed by R-base-2.4.1-2.1.i586

The error probably appears because fortran is not included in the suse distro
any more (as e.g in 10.1). I suggest to include the missing libraries in R
package.

Hi Matjaz,

I don't see that as a bug. Instead, you don't have the requirements,  
as you already noticed.

Isn't it simpler just to install the requirements?

See:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/

best,
benilton

Take a look in the ReadMe for suse. You need to add an online-repository of your
choice for blas etc.
