They generally have a packaging format like .rpm or .deb, and even then you can't mix them freely between different distributions -- SUSE .rpm are usually not interchangeable with RedHat and vice versa. You generally access them from curated package repositories using tools like yum or apt-get. One exception may be Slackware. At any rate, whereever you got your zipfile from, it is most likely wrong for RHEL. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
