[R] where is library file

[Casey,Richard]

Thanks Brian.  I installed libf2c for the x86_64 server, and then R and Bioconductor both installed without error, so apparently it was missing the library files.  Back in business.

libg2c is the runtime library for g77, the fortran compiler for gcc 3.x.

Loooking at the R spec file, this is likely to be in gcc-g77 (or a
dependency of that), and that is a dependency of the R-devel RPM.  Have
you tried installing the latter: you will need it to install packages
later?

Googling got me to

http://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2007-April/msg00049.html

which suggests that you need the libf2c RPM on RHEL4.
