I think it's saying you need to install R-base before R-base-devel. You'll need to add a cran repository as SUSE might not have the most up-to-date version of R.
This is the code for Ubuntu I assume it's the same, just change the distro and keyserver: sudo apt-get update sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/' gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key E084DAB9 gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | sudo apt-key add - You may also want to get Sun java, again, change distro and keyserver: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com B725097B3ACC3965 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin Then run: sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev sudo R CMD javareconf Cheers, Gavin. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Pettis Sent: 13 January 2012 16:43 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Problem Installing R to SuSE 10 via RPM Hi, I'm trying to install R from an rpm locally to my account (the reason I'm not doing it through yast/yast2/zypper is that the sys admin isn't yet willing to install it, and doesn't want to support it, but will help me support it if I install it locally -- in short, policy problems rather than technical). Below is the SuSE version, Kernel version, and rpm install error I'm getting, as well as the error... Can anyone help me with the error? I'm trying to install R-base 2.14.1, but it is telling me that I need R-base version 2.14.1 as a dependency. Am I using the wrong rpm for an installation starting from scratch?
