Dear People, Just tried to compile an rpm for R 1.2-1 (using Albrecht Gebhardt's spec file). The compile went successfully and produced a binary rpm, but when I tried to install it, I got an error error: failed dependencies: BEGIN is needed by R-base-1.2.1-1 I see this was also listed in the Requires list at the end of the rpm compilation: Requires: /bin/sh /usr/bin/perl BEGIN ... Of course I could force installation of the package, but I would like to know what I am doing first. Albrecht does not say anything about BEGIN in his spec file, so this must be some internal to R. Does anyone have any idea what? I have no idea. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
