R help - Dec 2000 - Installing R

I am trying to install R on a suse 7.0 linux system. When I attempt to use the
source, I receive an error message that says no fortran compiler was found. I do
have gnuc which is supposed to have g77 as part of the installation, but I
don't know how to use this information.

I also tried the binary installation and received an error message:

bash-2.04# rpm -ivh R-base-1.1.1-2.i386.rpm..rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libblas.so.2 is needed by R-base-1.1.1-2

Is this libblas.so.2 a file I could download? Where should I get it? Where
should I put it?

install blas.rpm 
you can use YaST to search for other "xxx is needed by R-base-1.1.1-2"
or needed libraries.
