Ah yes, those. Replace the rpm -Uvh with yum update and it should resolve the dependencies for you. If that fails, just pass all of those deps (in "") to yum install. Sorry about that!

My apologies for an inadvertent cross-posting. I *intended* to send this message to r-sig-fedora but by mistake sent it to users at lists.fedoraproject.org . So I am re-sending it to the address that I actually intended. Again, I apologise for the screw-up. So. Here we go again: It's no big deal, but when I build R from source (as I must) I always get the warning given in the subject

Dear all, I am trying to compile and install R from sources on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 64 bit. It usually worked flawlessly for me for more than 4 years (32bit and 64bit on Mandrake/Mandriva, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu). However, I am experiencing some problems now -- not during compiling and installing R itself but with the manuals. Maybe someone can help me with it? I tried to find some information in the

I was cross-building R-devel (1.7.0). The tail of the error message from running make on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68 is at the end of this email. The same procedure went fine on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1. My first guess is that the version of makeinfo is causing this. However, this didn't happen with R-1.6.2beta. Please advise. Jun ## tail of error

I built R form source succesfully on my Fedora 22 box. No errors. I can read there is an issue with some manuals at build time when running makeinfo, especially these two: doc/manual/R-exts.texi cp doc/manual/R-intro.texi Some distro have hacks about makeinfo 5 in their build script. I wonder if some manuals are broken but couldn't see it when running make. May someone tells me more about

Dear mentors and friends working on Xapian: Sorry for bothering you here, please excuse my rudeness. In order to clearly represent my thoughts, I think my words going a bit verbose, thus it is unsuitable to put them in the chat room or it would be a hell for the readers. This email consists of 3 parts, my self introduction (I'm new here) and two question I met while building Xapian from git.

Im running R 0.99 on SuSE 6.3 with Linux 2.2.14 and Xemacs 21.1. When I try to compile ESS the processes stops with an error message: Making info file `ess.info' from `ess.texi'. ./newfeat.texi:3: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. ./newfeat.texi:9: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. makeinfo: Removing output file

Hi! I'm currently a final year student of Informatics Institute of Technology Sri Lanka affiliated with the University of Westminster, a successful GSOC 2017 participant <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6522320890888192>. Witnessing the usage of machine learning and information retrieval I'm keen to contribute to The Xapian project thus, enhancing my skills in machine

G'day all, after issuing `svn up' on my machine this morning, I noticed that `make info' choked on R-exts.texi. Below is a patch that seems to solve the problem. BTW, while `make info' runs now, I still get the following warning: /usr/bin/makeinfo --enable-encoding -D UseExternalXrefs -I/opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual /opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual/R-exts.texi

According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had

As the build process, especially for Windows, is changing significantly for R 3.2.0, I am trying to build R-devel in preparation. When running `make rinstaller`, I get the following error: cp -p ../../../etc/x64/Makeconf R-devel/etc/x64 mkdir -p R-devel/doc cp -p ../../../doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv R-devel/doc mkdir -p R-devel/doc/manual/images cp -pR ../../../doc/html R-devel/doc
