Subject: Installing R on CentOS 8
In-Reply-To: <CAPV07m9kp4K58+QWViHYMYGukMXo1mpTLeOmqqbbcs_sLzEHTQ@mail.gmail.com>
FYI: I used wget to download the newer version of openblas and
openblas-threads. I was then able to install them and then install R. Not
sure why the repo wasn't giving me the latest version, but I am good now.
