Thanks Alexios. I started reading that based on Pierre's response but
I'm hung up:

1) I needed the fftw  package to install but it wouldn't as it was not
finding fftw3. I then  found fftw-3.3.3-r2 in Gentoo portage and think
I got past that problem.

2) I'm now just trying to install all the packages shown on yor
r-downloads page but rmgarch won't install apparently due to (I think)
Latex issues. I got as far as failing due to something called texi2dvi
which I found and installed from portage again, but now I have this
problem due to a missing appendix.sty file I think.

Thanks for any pointers into what I'm doing wrong here.

Cheers,
Mark
