System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago) I?ve installed zlib 1.2.11 on the home folder of a Red Hat HPC as part of the process for installing R base 3.4.0. I get this error even after successful install of zlib checking for inflateInit2_ in -lz... no checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required I?ve checked R documentation and configure file for the issue of R requiring version newer than 1.2.6 but not lexicographically recognizing 1.2.11 as >1.2.6, and that particular bug was patched in 3.4. Any suggestion and/or input would be much appreciated. Regards, Bashir

You do not need to compile R from source on RHEL 6. If you enable the EPEL repository then you can install the binary RPM via yum. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL Tom Callaway, who maintains the Red Hat binaries of R, statically links up-to-date versions of bzip2, xz, pcre, and curl into R. Martyn PS The R-SIG-Fedora list is a more appropriate mailing list for this topic: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
