Hello,
I recently did a full install of SUSE 9.0 and want to get R up and
running. An attempted install of R-base-1.8.1-1.i586.rpm resulted in:
####
error: Failed dependencies:
libg2c.so.0 is needed by R-base-1.8.1-1
####
And a ./configure in the source directory of R-1.8.1 failed with
####
configure: error: Neither an F77 compiler nor f2c found
####
I guess SUSE 9.0 does not come with the required fortran
libraries/compilers. Can someone point me in the direction of
packages I need to install to get R running (either by installing the
binaries or compiling from source)? Thanks to all.

If you go to http://www.rpmfind.net/ and search for libg2c.so.0, it
finds

Hi, you have to install a Fortran compiler. It is available on the DVD/CD as package "gcc-g77". Best wishes, Arne On Wednesday 26 November 2003 18:26, J.R.

I have 1.8.1 running on SuSE 9.0 as I write. I use the "Professional" release, which comes with most development packages, certainly all the ones needed to compile R-1.8.1. If you do not have the "Professional" version, you will have to acquire the full collection. You can use YaST to check what is available. Bring up the YaST window and highlight "Software," then in the right hand window "Install and Remove Software." When the window comes up, click on the "filter" box and use the search facility. I would point out though that I have R-1.8.1 running as I write and YaST search tells me that the librbary you listed is not present on my system either. What OS are you running?

Indeed the package gcc-g77 was on the install disk, and I was able to install the R rpm with no problems. J.R.
