[Fwd: Re: R on Mandriva 2006]

Hi Ioannis and Paolo,

As Ioannis recommends getting the last R source (R-2.2.1) is better and 
does not require much effort.
If you want the compilation to go smoothly on Mandriva 2006 you should 
first use drakconf to download and install:

gfortran
readline
blas

which are not installed by default by the powerpack (or free) distribution.

Then follow the basic Unix/Linux intructions (to compile from sources) 
on the R Installation and Administration Manual (ie, "tar -xvzf 
R-2.2.1.tar.gz", "cd R-2.2.1", "./configure", "make", "make check", 
"make install").

Mandriva 2006 uses gcc-4.0.1, etc. On my machine (Intel PIV) all the 
tests went fine.

Christophe.
