[R] Re: R-1.4.0 RPM's

[Frank E Harrell Jr]

I had the same problem and Michele Alzetta was kind enough to help.  My problem in updating to R-1.4 was due solely to programs that didn't get installed when I updated from Mandrake 7.2 to Mandrake 8.1.  For those having the same problem here is what I did to solve it, with information from Michele:

1. Installed libgcc3.0-3.0.1-1mdk from Mandrake installation disk # 2

2. Installed liblapack3-3.0-3mdk from Mandrake disk # 3 (this will fix your blas problem)

3. I also had to install gcc3.0-3.0.1-1md.i586.rpm so that update.packages() would run, but most people will already have this installed
