[R] problem at installing [R]ade

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

That appears to be a message from your tar.  Perhaps try

tar zxvf ade4_1.00.tar.gz
R INSTALL ade4

I suspect the first step will fail, and it would be because your pthreads
library is not the right version.  Note that it is using /usr/local/lib,
and perhaps something has installed an older version there?

R packages do not come in rpms.
