I am having difficulty with dependencies for the R rpm for Fedora Core 2. In attempting to load R-2.0.0.0.fdr.1.fc2.i386.rpm it fails the libtk8.4.so dependency even though I have this library loaded. The library is located in: /usr/local/lib. How might I tell R where to find this library? I am new to Linux and loading rpms so I am hoping there is a simple answer and that the problem is related to my inexperience. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Steve

You need to install the RPM dependencies that it depends on. A libtk8.4.so in /usr/local/lib doesn't come from a standard RPM. You need to install the tk (and tcl) RPM from CD's or a Fedora repository.

It is most likely the rpm looks for this lib at /usr/lib, you may create a symbolic link eg cd /usr/lib ln -s /usr/local/libtk8.4.so . of cource, you must have a root access to do this.
