Hmisc on Fedora

2 messages · Andreas Betz, Martyn Plummer

Hello,

when I want to install H misc and rms using Fedora 26. I receive the
following error message:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ?Hmisc? in dyn.load(file,
DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so':
 libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Scanning the R-help several other users received similar messages and
described some solutions.
Could somebody please provide a step for step approach to repair this
problem.

Thank you

Andreas

There is a binary incompatibility between FC25 and FC26 so this can
happen when you upgrade without reinstalling R

1) If you installed R from source before upgrading then rebuild and
reinstall it.

2) If you installed R from the rpmfusion repository then make sure you
have the FC26 version installed:

[plummerm at D-160182 ~]$ rpm -q R
R-3.4.1-1.fc26.x86_64
          ^^^^

Update/reinstall if necessary.

3) If you have a personal library then you may need to reinstall the
packages that were built under FC25 and use Fortran.
