If you look in the file config.log, there should be some hints about exactly what went wrong. It might also be useful if you told us which Linux distribution we are talking about. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Here is a related question on the same topic: I have recently installed R 1.5.1, with rpm, under Redhat 7.3. Things were going great, until I tried to install the package subselect, which said it needs BLAS. Now, does this mean that I need to build R from scratch, including BLAS in the process, or is there a way to just install BLAS and then have subselect work? Thanks in advance...

You only need to get the blas and lapack rpm's and install them. Then all works perfectly well with installing subselect.> -----Original Message----- > From: Richards, Tom [mailto:richards at biounix3.upci.pitt.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 12:15 PM > To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: RE: [R] R installation on Linux > > > Here is a related question on the same topic: > > I have recently installed R 1.5.1, with rpm, under Redhat > 7.3.
