Installing R on RedHat7.0
Prof Brian D Ripley <ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk> writes:
If I rerun test-Examples, all the remaining tests complete with no problem. Similarly, make test-Specific fails during arith-true.R, with many tests returning FALSE. Have others who run R on RedHat7 run these tests? It seems that either there's a serious compiler problem, or the .Machine variables are getting set wrong, or I have a hardware problem.
The likely story is that that beta compiler is even farther from IEEE-compliant than is usual for gcc on Linux. Some of us are too nervous about it to even try an installation.
..although, as bit me earlier today, it isn't as if the compiler suite that comes with RH6.* is too hot either! Maybe it is time to take a closer look at Mandrake 7.2 (which incidentally is the first distribution to ship with a *current* version of R)
