Hi,
Maybe somebody could help me with my problem installing R on my
PowerBook G3/292 with MkLinux DR3 installed on the internal HD:
When installing R with
rpm -Uhv R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm
I got the following message:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47537: [: !=: unary operator expected
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47537: /bin/R: no such file or directory
execution of script failed
error: R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
Nevertheless, R was installed and is running
When I repeat installation:
rpm -Uhv R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm
I get the message;
package R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm is already installed
However, when I try to delete the package
rpm -r R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm
I get the message:
package R-base-0.63-3.ppc.rpm is not installed
When I tried to install R-contributions with
rpm -Uhv R-contrib-1998.11.20-1.ppc.rpm
I got the following message:
Can´t find R base in /lib/R
execution of script failed
error: R-contrib-1998.11.20-1.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
So, it seems that the rpm database is not updated and I am not able to
install R-contrib-1998.11.20-1.ppc.rpm
(It did not help to install /bin/R and /lib/R by hand)
So can anybody help me and tell me how I can install R-contrib?
If I want to remove R, where can I find which files I have to remove by
hand?
Thank you very much for your help
