Dear Sir

Actually I tried in both ways : "yum install R" and  sudo yum install R ,
but the error is same.
I have root privilege, means I used the command su - and enter the password.
 May be its problem from Fedora.
Thanks for your valuable help. I will post this issue in R-SIG-Fedora list.

Kind Regards

Wesley

The command that I told you to use was:

 yum install R

to be used as "root". Note that there is nothing after the "R".

You have to have root privileges to use yum and to install the R RPMs. So
you either need to use:

 su -

then enter the root password and then use the command above, or if you have
set up "sudo", you can use:

 sudo yum install R

after which you will need to enter the root password.

If you still get the error, you have a configuration problem with your yum
repo setup, which means that you really need to be looking to the Fedora
(not R) lists for assistance, since it is not an R issue.

That being said, as I also noted, if you post to the R-SIG-Fedora list,
there are folks there who can offer Fedora specific assistance for R, as
this thread is getting to be OT for R-Help.
