Hi,

First, RHEL and related distributions (e.g. Fedora), have a dedicated R-SIG list:
  
  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

Future queries in this domain should be submitted there, as many of the RH package maintainers (e.g. Tom Callaway, aka Spot) read that list.

For R 3.3.0, it would appear that it is about a day away from being available for release:

  https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-6fc2c863b0

So for now, it would be available via the EPEL testing repos.

Otherwise, you can wait until it is available via release in the next day or so, or download the RPMS directly here:

Hi all,

I did it today on Debian GNU Linux 8 Jessie this way:

vim /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://cran.uni-muenster.de/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3
ESC;:wq

apt.get update
apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

This worked for me.

When installing R packages from within R I found that R needed the 
following:

apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libhunspell-dev 
libxml2-dev 

You probably might to wish to install this also.

HTH.

Kind regards

Georg

Georg,

As Sunish noted in his post, he is using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is an RPM based Linux distribution, as opposed to Debian and it's derivatives like Ubuntu, which use different pre-compiled binaries (.Deb).

Your ability to upgrade on Debian is not relevant to his issue, as a completely different infrastructure (RPM based repositories) is required for RHEL if one wishes to install pre-compiled binaries, as opposed to building from source, which is also an option if one wishes.

Regards,

Marc

Hi Sunish,

Sunish Kumar Bilandi <Sunish.Bilandi at evalueserve.com> writes:
You don't say what the problem is, but I'm running Scientific Linux 6.7,
which is based on the corresponding version of Red Hat, and have found
that I cannot install R 3.3.0, because the version of zlib available is
too old.  R 3.3.0 requires zlib >= 1.2.5, whereas the version in the SL
repositories is 1.2.3.

So if this is the problem, then you either have to install newer version
of zlib from source or switch to RH7, which comes with zlib 1.2.7.

Cheers,

I forgot to say that for RH7, R 3.3.0 is available from the EPEL
repository, whereas for RH5 or RH6 you will have to install R from
source.

available.
