Installing texlive dependencies
Yes, I tried that alternative repo with F15, but it is quite messy. If you read carefully various posts, then you will realize that the right way is to use CTAN installation, not what is offered under Fedora's umbrella, so to say. TeXLive in Fedora seems to be in a sorrowful state. Best, PM

Check out this page, it also offers a repo for texlive 2011 on f16. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 4:54 PM, Petar Milin <pmilin at ff.uns.ac.rs> wrote: Hello ALL! I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R, from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for example, tex-preview, texinfo-tex, texlive, texlive-dvips etc.). I know that new TeX is installed in other place (/usr/local/texlive/2011/), than the old, default of the Tex 2007 (/usr/share/texmf/). But, I defined PATH properly: PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86-64-linux:$PATH Also, I have tried with the symbolic link: ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2011 /usr/share/texmf So, I wonder why R asks for those TeX-packages? Can I tell it where to look? In any case, how to fix this mess? Thanks in advance, Petar
