[Rd] Failed to install kernlab package

[Ista Zahn]

Hi,

I can't reproduce the error with a fully updated CentOS 6 with R-core
and R-devel installed from
http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/.
Here is the sessionInfo from my CentOS 6 system where installation of
kernlab was successful:

sessionInfo()
