Re: installing 2.14.0 on fedora

Hi Jose: I started totally from scratch and did that yum-builddep R as you
suggested.

 Then I checked out the latest R 2.14 branch using svn.  But now, when I
try to configure, I get an error that  it can't find the MASS package ?

Do you know if MASS is supposed to be available for R .2.14 ? It is not in
/src/library of the source tree but the makefile.in there has below in it
which I think makes it look for MASS ? I wasn't getting this earlier so
could it have something to do with running yum-builddep R before I started
?  Is there a way to "undo"
the yum-builddep R command if that's the case ?

Any knowledge or help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: installing 2.14.0 on fedora

gotcha marc. gavin told me that earlier but I thought I was becoming an
expert ( NOT ) so I didn't look at his notes when starting from scratch.
hopefully this time I'll finally get it. jose: disregard my previous email.
that must be the problem. thanks marc.

did you forget to download the reccomended packages again?

../tools/rsync-recommended

should do it, as I mentioned earlier in this thread.

This is totally unconnected. All that yum-builddep command does is
install the packages required to build the R package in the Fedora
repos. You don't actually need all of these; for example you can use the
LAPACK and BLAS provided with R rather than the Fedora ones. I know I
have had issues with Fedora's BLAS and/or LAPACK in the past.

libicu-devel

will give you the iconv support I mentioned was missing earlier.
