There does not seem to be a RPM for Red Hat 7 of version 1.2.1. What should I do? I have a new computer with RH7. I'm willing to try to make one from the SRPM, but I've never done that before, and I don't want to go to the trouble if someone else is already planning to do it soon. Likewise, I could install it from the tgz file. (I just did that on a Solaris server, so I ought to be able to do it on my new computer.) But if I do that, and then I want to update next time from an RPM, how do I know I'm putting things where they ought to go (when I use the tgz file), so I don't wind up with two versions at some later time? I did try the RPM for RH 6 and it didn't work on RH 7 (although it worked fine on my RH 6 computer).

The easiest thing to do is to install from source. You will need to up/downgrade your gcc, though. The notorious "gcc 2.96" supplied with RH7 causes a number of problems with R. Installing from source will mean you want to uninstall before installing an RPM, should one become available. -thomas Thomas Lumley Asst.

The hard thing to do is to "upgrade" from RH 7.0 to Debian's "testing"
distribution, add CRAN's Debian archive to the list of sources, and
use Doug Bates' build... :-)

Notice that there are RPMs of 1.1.1 for RH7.0 in the updates section at RedHat, and of 1.2.0 in the rawhide distribution. Both were made after the (known) remaing issues with 2.96 was fixed and errataed. (The latter is dated Dec 19 with the release of 1.2.0 on Dec 15, but I wouldn't expect you to be that lucky this time). If you build from source, you *must* get the current update for gcc 2.96. Besides, what's wrong with Martyn's version sitting at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/7.x/i386/R-base-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm ???..... [Yeah, I only went to look *after* writing the first bit]

It's there now. In fact it was available from ftp://ftp-fis.iarc.fr/pub/R from Friday, but I suppose it had not been mirrored to CRAN when you looked. I am supporting RH6.2 and RH7.0 at the moment, but RH7.0 takes a little longer because I do it at home.
