[R] Help on Installing Matrix Package in Linux (Fedora)

[Marc Schwartz]

Indeed.

Presumably R was installed using an RPM from the Fedora repository and 
the 'devel' RPM, which contains the requisite header files was not.

Using:

   # yum install R-devel

should get you moving forward.

BTW, there is a new Fedora specific e-mail list for R. More info here:

HTH,
