I've just installed Redhat 8.0 + latest updates on a Intel PC and am trying to install the R 1.6.1-2 rpm but get the following: # rpm -i R-1.6.1-2.i386.rpm warning: R-1.6.1-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 97d3544e error: Failed dependencies: libtcl.so.0 is needed by R-1.6.1-2 libtk.so.0 is needed by R-1.6.1-2 What am I missing?

(Why they did not get installed when you installed RH 8 is something I do not know.) One way to find such things is to go to http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ and type the name of what you are missing into the search box. In this case, you will see that you need the rpm for tcl, and the one for tk, both of which have versions for RH 8.0. Download them and install them (as root) in the usual way, e.g.: rpm -Uvh tcl* tk* (or use the tab key to complete the names). Jon Baron
Hi Hubert, AFAIK, the warning is just warning, but the error is, that the two libraries for Tcl/Tk libtcl.so.0 , libtk.so.0 seem to be missing in your system. Try to find out, which RPMs provide these libraries and install them. Or try rpm with --nodeps flag, but this may be little bit risky.
