R installation on Linux

You only need to get the blas and lapack rpm's and install them.
Then all works perfectly well with installing subselect.

Here is a related question on the same topic:

I have recently installed R 1.5.1, with rpm, under Redhat 
7.3.  Things were going great, until I tried to install the 
package subselect, which said it needs BLAS.  Now, does this 
mean that I need to build R from scratch, including BLAS in 
the process, or is there a way to just install BLAS and then 
have subselect work?  Thanks in advance...

Tom

Dear,

I'm new to both Linux and R. I've to build R from source code
and typed in the R-1.5.1 directory

./configure

the configuration starts but after a few lines the

following error occurs:

checking for C compiler default output... configure: error:

C compiler

cannot create executables

what should i do?

Install the C compiler? or possibly development libraries.

If you look in the file config.log, there should be some hints about
exactly what went wrong.

It might also be useful if you told us which Linux

distribution we are

talking about.
