Hi, dear list members, I've been using R under windows XP and I am now changing my system to SUSE LINUX 9.3. I could figure out that there is no precompiled version of R for LINUX. To get me going, I would like your help regarding what I need to setup R under my SUSE LINUX. Which compiler do I need to be able to compile the source and I was wondering if I could get GNU compiler? I highly appreciate your help and for taking your time. Looking forward to hearing from you Regards Mahdi
Hi Mahdi, Just uncompress the file tar -xzf R-2.1.0.tar.gz
Er, 2.1.1 has been out a couple of weeks...
cd into the directory and do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make make install It might happen that some packages are not installed, the most common is not to have the devel version of "readline" and "f2c". Just start yast
and install these packages.
f2c ?? gcc-g77 more likely. Plus various other stuff relating to tcl/tk, etc.
Another issue is that you should run the previous commands with your user and the "make install" has root.
Yes, but what was ever wrong with http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/suse/9.3/RPMS/i586/R-base-2.1.1-1. i586.rpm ?
Hi, Probably nothing is wrong with the rpm, I just prefer to compile it myself ...
