hi every body.

Im new in this program. Im traying to install R in linux suse10.0 in
two following form:

 a)   with the file R-2.5.0.tar.gz

 b)   and the rpm file :  R-base-2.5.0-2.1.i586.rpm

******  In the first case a) when i uncompressed  and type:

linux:/opt/R/R-2.5.0 # ./configure

the followind message is showed


linux:/opt/R/R-2.5.0 # ./configure

after that i try to do :

linux:/opt/R/R-2.5.0 # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

i installed :  xorg-x11-devel   and  libpng-devel ,    suggested by somebody
and nothing.

******Affter with  b)  tray to install with the YAST. It installed
without errors, but when i try to run R the following message is
showed:

/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries:
libgfortran.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

then  i do

linux:/usr/lib # ln /opt/gnat/lib/libgfortran.so libgfortran.so.0

it also doesnt work.

Thanks for yor help
