As R Develeoper, I've tried to install R in a fedora podman
container, starting from plain fedora
dnf install R-core-devel
dnf install emacs-ess
dnf install subversion
cd /usr/local
mkdir -p .../R
cd .../R
svn checkout https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk R-devel
mkdir -p inst/R-devel
cd inst/R-devel/
../../R-devel/configure
and then it's telling me I will not have readline, so I stop
and do
dnf install libreadline-devel
but then X11 libraries/headers are missing etc.
-------------------------------------------------
I had hoped that the R-core-devel would already provide me
with what I needed.
Is there a list of such things to easily add to my list to add
after starting to run podman in a "base fedora" ?
{I'd be glad to be CC'ed as I'm not subscribed to R-SIG-Fedora}
Thank you in advance,
Martin
