Hi, We managed to compile R 2.0.1 on 64-bit SUSE Linux 9.1 on a HP Proliant setup fairly uneventfully by following instructions on the R installation guide. We did encounter a minor hiccup in setting up x11, a problem which we note has been raised 4 or 5 times previously, but this was overcome thanks to this recent post by Peter Dalgaard on SUSE 9.1 and R.https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-January/062397.html, as well as previous comments on the mailing list. One clarification on that post may be helpful: there are only 3 additional developmental packages required for successful X11 installation. XFree86-devel-4.3.99.902-30 fontconfig-devel freetype2-devel These were not available in YAST (9.1 SUSE), but were located in http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ Once again, thanks to the assorted R gurus and wizards for making this mailing list such a great resource. Regards, Min-Han Tan
