I don't think you are reading my message carefully. You need a) SYMPHONY in order to b) install Rsymphony in order to c) install fPortfolio. Please do not correspond to only me. Rhelp has an expectation that copies will be sent to the list.

Perhaps someone on the list with that OS (not mine) can tell you how to determine if SYMPHONY is installed on your machine. Sometimes there are environment variables needed to be set at the system level. I earlier gave you a link to the source, but sometimes that is not enough.
