For any additional Fedora specific queries, please note that there is a R-SIG-Fedora list: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora If you continue to have problems, please be sure to include the error message(s) that you get in your post.

Dear All As you suggested I tried to install was trying to install R-2.11.1-3.fc13.1686 in Fedora-13-i386 but it also shows error. I wrote yum install R-2.11.1-3fc13.i686 Errors Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repond.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again. Could you please help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance Kind Regards Wesley C Mathew [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Note that there is nothing after the "R". You have to have root privileges to use yum and to install the R RPMs. So you either need to use: su - then enter the root password and then use the command above, or if you have set up "sudo", you can use: sudo yum install R after which you will need to enter the root password. If you still get the error, you have a configuration problem with your yum repo setup, which means that you really need to be looking to the Fedora (not R) lists for assistance, since it is not an R issue. That being said, as I also noted, if you post to the R-SIG-Fedora list, there are folks there who can offer Fedora specific assistance for R, as this thread is getting to be OT for R-Help.
