Hi,

first versions of RPMs of R and its libraries for SuSE 5.3 are available
at CRAN:

   ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/

I compiled it with gcc and g77 from egcs 1.1b. 

There are still some problems:

  + the "event", "gnlm", ... libraries are missing (g77 complains about  
    wrong declarations)
  + "modreg" does not work (library contains unresolved symbols)
  + "e1071" currently has no support for pgm routines.

But I hope to solve these problems step by step.

PS:
Here is the README file from 
ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/RPMS/i386/README

R packages for S.u.S.E. Linux
=============================

These packages are compiled with egcs 1.1b on S.u.S.E 5.3.

The latest versions are always available at
 
     ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/

and mirrored at CRAN under

     ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/5.3/ 

Libraries (libreadline and libblas) are statically linked, so you need 
no extra packages with shared libraries.

Each package is divided into two parts "R-<name>" with the binaries and files 
needed at runtime and "R-<name>-source" with the appropriate source tree.

If you are not interested in the source tree you can omit all "R-<name>-source"
packages.

You will need at least R-x.xx-y.i386.rpm, which contains the base installation
of R (with x.xx.y replaced by the version number from R-x.xx.y.tgz). 
All other libraries from CRAN/contrib have their own packages.

Directories:

base/         base package
contrib/      library packages
source/       source trees for base and library packages (no source-RPMs!)
all-in-one/   one big package with all libraries and whole source tree
ess/          packages with ESS-mode for GNU Emacs and XEmacs

Of course, you can also find the source-RPMs here (../../SRPMS/). I use them
not only for S.u.S.E. Linux but also for Digital Unix, see
 
     ftp://ftp.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/uni-klu.ac.at/rpms/osf1/alpha/


PS:
RPMs with egcs 1.1b for S.u.S.E 5.3 are also available at 

     ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/RPMS/i386/
