R SIG Fedora - Sep 2009 - Fedora 11: Package RBGL won't install

Hi

I've been trying to install RBGL and several other packages in gR task
view on Fedora11 64 bit without success

My guess is that it is due to boost (fedora is at boost 1.37 which is
a few minor versions behind 1.40)  and very recent g++

Has anyone managed to install the gR task view or RBGL in particular?

Thanks

Cheers
Peter

Peter, 

I just installed RBGL on Fedora 10 (64 bit) without any problem. Below
is my system information. Maybe the problem is related to the gcc
version, as you have suspected: 

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)
> version
               _                           
platform       x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu     
arch           x86_64                      
os             linux-gnu                   
system         x86_64, linux-gnu

day            24                          
svn rev        49384                       
language       R                           
version.string R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24)
