[R-sig-Fedora] error installing geepack on 64bit fedora 16

[Peter Baker]

Hi

Does anyone know how to install geepack on fedora 16 - 64bit - R

google only yields a couple of hits with unanswered Q

Installation just throws an error with an undefined symbol. Previous
version won't load due to lack of NAMESPACE.  Sadly, its a show
stopper w.r.t. upgrading my work PCs

Any hints/suggestions most welcome

Thanks

Cheers
Peter

a bit of a catch 22
