Daniel and Lou, If you're happy with the sunfreeware build of R, that's fine. You can continue to use both sunfreeware and Blastwave on OpenIndiana, but I should point out they're primarily targeted toward Solaris 10 and earlier where proper integration with the system software was not possible.
pkg install pkg:/runtime/tk-8 will the native packages for Tcl and Tk. A build recipe for R is in spec-files-extra as "SFER" - see http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris if you're not familiar with SFE. -Albert On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 2:15 PM, Daniel Kjar <dk...@elmira.edu> wrote: > Excellent, I will try the sunfreeware version instead and let you know what > happens.
