Hi, Yea Linux! I think you are missing a library file (libgfortran.so.1), you can use locate to try and find the so file, in bash type:
locate libgfortran Now three things can happen: - It doesn't find anything, than you need to install an additional gfortran package. This is often called libgfortran-dev or something (at least it is called this way in debian and ubuntu). This installs development files, including libgfortran.so - It finds a file called libgfotran.so.something but not .so.1. So you have the file, but it is not named correctly. Easiest solution is to create a symbolic link called libgfortran.so.1 to libgfortran.so.something and loading the library in R - It finds the correct file. Could be that the file is not in your PATH. Add the location of the file (the directy that is) to your path. cheers, Paul On 10/27/2011 12:56 PM, sambit rath wrote: > Dear all, > > I am "still" fairly new to R and newer still to linux (opensuse).
