Thanks to Professor Ripley and Sarah Goslee for their helpful responses which have progressed my installation of rimage a little further. Installing fftw2 instead of fftw3 of course solves the problem and I apologize for initially missing that requirement in the rimage documentation.
My install has now unfortunately stalled at the next stage and once again I would appreciate any advice as to how to solve the problem: checking jpeglib.h usability... no checking jpeglib.h presence... no checking for jpeglib.h... no configure: error: Sorry, can't find jpeglib header ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rimage' I believe that I have successfully installed libjpeg from the web site http://www.ijg.org as specified in the documentation. I have also checked for the existence of the jpeglib.h file which is sitting in /usr/local/bin/jpeg-6b I noticed an old posting on this issue, but the solution was to make sure that the jpeglib.h existed, which it does. I am now running FFTW version 2.1.5, fedora core 3 and R version 2.3.1 Thanks again John Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > On Mon, 11 Sep 2006, John Kornak wrote: > >> Dear R people, >> >> I am trying to install rimage using install.packages("rimage") but am >> receiving the following errors despite having FFTW installed.
