Hi all, I checked the archive and didn't see an
anser to this. I updated to Suse 9.2 with kde 3.3
and the installed version of R (from the suse 9.1)
rpms came up with the following failed
dependencies (after querying the rpm)
error: Failed dependencies:
libg2c.so.0 is needed by
R-base-patched1.9.0-1
libreadline.so.4 is needed by
R-base-patched1.9.0-1
My question is:
1.) can I just compile from the tar ball, or will
the same missing lib files be a problem. In other
words, is it just a rpm problem.
2.) If compiling from the source will not help,
can I add these files somehow, or will suse 9.2
rpms be kindly added soon by some very nice
person?
thank you,
wayne

No.
Well, yes, they will. Maybe not a compile problem, but otherwise. Not sure about libg2c, but without libreadline you definitely won't have command recall.

I'd be surprised if the files are not on the SuSE CD somewhere. A bit strange that they didn't get updated along with the rest of the system though.

But we are on libreadline.so.5 nowadays, so I suspect a very recent system like SuSE 9.2 has that and not libreadline.so.4. OTOH, the absence of libg2c.so.0 suggests that g77 and its support files are not installed, and that will cause compilation problems.

Seems so since Wayne said (offline) that a compile from scratch worked fine. Most likely there's a readline4-compat (or so) RPM for code that has been linked with libreadline.so.4.
OTOH, the absence of libg2c.so.0 suggests that g77 and its support files are not installed, and that will cause compilation problems.
Hmm... I wonder what it did get linked to. Wayne? ldd `R RHOME`/lib/* should tell you.
