Installing R on RedHat7.0
Thanks! Building from source worked, and the demos all run. Several others report that R runs smoothly on RedHat7. However, not all the tests in $R_HOME/tests succeed. When I do "make test-Examples" in that directory, it fails executing "base-Ex.R" in the "eigen" section, with the error: Error: abs(sm %*% V - V %*% diag(lam)) < 60 * Meps is not TRUE This appears to be a numerical precision problem. Checking, Meps (i.e. .Machine.double.eps) is 1.084202e-19. Is this a reasonable value for a Pentium III? 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.

After that long-winded introduction, my question is: Has anyone gotten a working installation of R on RedHat 7, or on any other system with the version 8.3 tcl/tk libraries, or been able to get the earlier libraries to work under RH7??
I think Brian Ripley has been using the 8.3 libraries on windows. delTcl is on the R side of things, defined in tcltk.c, so you're getting some pretty strange errors there. I suspect your best bet is to install R from source, which ought to be pretty easy - or at any rate, we'd like to know about any trouble you run into. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
