Hi, first versions of RPMs of R and its libraries for SuSE 5.3 are available at CRAN: ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/ I compiled it with gcc and g77 from egcs 1.1b. There are still some problems: + the "event", "gnlm", ... libraries are missing (g77 complains about wrong declarations) + "modreg" does not work (library contains unresolved symbols) + "e1071" currently has no support for pgm routines. But I hope to solve these problems step by step. Albrecht PS: Here is the README file from ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/RPMS/i386/README R packages for S.u.S.E. Linux ============================ These packages are compiled with egcs 1.1b on S.u.S.E 5.3. The latest versions are always available at ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/ and mirrored at CRAN under ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/ Libraries (libreadline and libblas) are statically linked, so you need no extra packages with shared libraries. Each package is divided into two parts "R-<name>" with the binaries and files needed at runtime and "R-<name>-source" with the appropriate source tree. If you are not interested in the source tree you can omit all "R-<name>-source" packages. You will need at least R-x.xx-y.i386.rpm, which contains the base installation of R (with x.xx.y replaced by the version number from R-x.xx.y.tgz). All other libraries from CRAN/contrib have their own packages. Directories: base/ base package contrib/ library packages source/ source trees for base and library packages (no source-RPMs!) all-in-one/ one big package with all libraries and whole source tree ess/ packages with ESS-mode for GNU Emacs and XEmacs Of course, you can also find the source-RPMs here (../../SRPMS/). I use them not only for S.u.S.E. Linux but also for Digital Unix, see ftp://ftp.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/uni-klu.ac.at/rpms/osf1/alpha/ PS: RPMs with egcs 1.1b for S.u.S.E 5.3 are also available at ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/RPMS/i386/ ...................................................................... | Albrecht Gebhardt Tel.: (++43 463) 2700/837 | | Institut fuer Mathematik Fax : (++43 463) 2700/834 | | Universitaet Klagenfurt mailto:albrecht.gebhardt at uni-klu.ac.at | | Villacher Str. 161 http://www-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/~agebhard | | A-9020 Klagenfurt, Austria | `--------------------------------------------------------------------' -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
