[R-sig-Fedora] rstan warning messages

[Patrick, Larry B [CSSM]]

Got past my libgfortran issue
     ln -s  /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so

Now if I could get RCurl and rstan installed.

Thanks,
Larry

RHEL-6 is getting long in the tooth, at almost six years old. It's quite possible that these R modules are checking for modern dependencies and not finding them.

That said, something strange is definitely happening here. You're getting this error message:

   No package 'libcurl' found

That normally means that it could not find the pkgconfig file for 'libcurl', but I've pulled down the libcurl-devel package that you installed and it definitely has:

   /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc

I think the only way I'm going to be able to troubleshoot this is to bring up a RHEL 6 VM and try it myself.
