I'm running R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm under Mandrake 10.1 without problem. I know that there is a problem of dependency with other packages. Try that from a shell (eg: Konsole):
cd path_to_your_R_rpm su urpmi info-4.7-2.mdk rpm -i R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm Just a remark: While encountering problems under Linux, the "solution" is not to move to an other distribution... (in this way you will change of distribution each month, and become a super linux installer ... but not a good linux user) HTH Tristan On Tuesday 15 March 2005 08:46, miguel manese wrote: > > I am trying to install the R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm > > <http://cran.planetmirror.com/bin/linux/mandrake/10.0/R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.r > >pm > file on mandrake 10.1.
