Hi,

I'm running R 2.4.1 on Fedora Core 6 and am unable to install the tseries
package.  I've resolved a few problems getting to this point, by running a
yum update, installing the gcc-gfortran dependency, but now I'm stuck.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I presume the priority is addressing the error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find
-lRblas"

I have the libRblas.so file with R 2.4. Do I need to upgrade to R 2.5 - In
which case I'll be asking how to fix the problems I'm having doing that  ;)

[~]# yum provides libRblas.so
