R-beta: compiling R-0.62.3 on SuSe Linux

[Albrecht Gebhardt]

>> ... problems with R and SuSE ...


I should have mentioned that I am using a different approach to build my
RPM packages of R (available at http://www-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/RPMS):

+ I put every additional library in an extra package.
+ All packages are split into a "binary" and "source tree" part
  (R-somelibrary.i386.rpm and R-somelibrary-devel.i386.rpm)
  So if someone does not need the sources, he can omit the
  "devel"-packages.

I do so because this makes it easier for me to maintain  the
campus-wide R installation and to stay up to date.

A minimal R installation with sources needs the packages "R-0.62.3" and
"R-devel-0.62.3" and additionally "blas-dynamic", "f2c-shared" and
"readline-shared".

PS:
We have also an RPM repository for Digital Unix freeware:
ftp://ftp.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/uni-klu.ac.at/rpms/osf1/alpha/RPMS/
It contains the same R-RPMs for DEC Alpha machines. But of course you will
need to install many other packages first to get rpm up and running on DEC
Unix (4.0D).
