I am having difficulty with dependencies for the R rpm for Fedora Core 2. In attempting to load R-2.0.0.0.fdr.1.fc2.i386.rpm it fails the libtk8.4.so dependency even though I have this library loaded. The library is located in: /usr/local/lib. How might I tell R where to find this library? I am new to Linux and loading rpms so I am hoping there is a simple answer and that the problem is related to my inexperience. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Steve

You need to install the tk (and tcl) RPM from CD's or a Fedora repository. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
