Dear all.
First of all, thanks to Jon, Martin, Bogdan and Roland since they tried to help me.
In order I tried to 1) install the libf2c0-3.4.1-4mdk.i586.rpm. 2) install R 2.0.1 from the source.
1) Didn't work, since the "info" is still not satisfied 2) I wasn't able to configure it. I mean:
a) as root I uzipped the archive in the home/krisse directory b) ./configure in the home/krisse/R-2.0.1 directory the resulting message was that neither a fortran compiler nor f2c was found.
Then I looked for a fortran compiler........
What I have understood is that a fortran compiler is already included in the gcc3.4.1-4mdk (already installed).
Is that correct?
In the /usr/bin directory there are g++ an similar things but none of the g77, f77, xlf, frt, pgf77, fl32, af77, fort77, f90, xlf90, pgf90, epcf90, f95, fort, xlf95, lf95, g95, and fc.
Then I tried to install the f2c package. I don't get the error "neither a fortran compiler nor f2c was found" but the configuring command wasn't able to build the make file.......
Now, I know I am really bad at linux and I don't actually know the meaning of most of the things i have written above,
but it would be really nice if somebody could help me.
Thanks again.
Christian

Hi Christian, I'm not really answering your question, but really you shouldn't install R 2.0.0 once R 2.0.1 has been
released for such a long time and already R 2.1.0 is going into
"alpha" stage next Monday.
Why don't you try to install from source? I've been advocating this as a test of ``having a decently complete Linux/Unix system'', i.e., in order to build R from the sources (without too many warnings about missing features) you will have to get quite a few useful things (gcc, g77, perl, latex, texinfo, ..) that you want `anyway'. One of the five R manuals is called "R Administration / Installation" -- this should help you to become successful. Once you've installed R 2.0.1 from the sources, you will be ready to try "R 2.1.0 alpha" -- which will be a service to the R user community, if you help testing out R 2.0.1 *before* its release.
BTW, you seem to be from Roma, Italy. You might be delighted to see that R 2.1.0 will speak Italian in some ways.
