I just landed in Paris, and haven't read backwards in this thread, but I've done 3.2.0 builds for all current Fedora releases, they're all in updates-testing (I think the Fedora 22 builds are in updates stable now).
The thing that changed is that R doesn't bundle a number of libraries like it used to. This doesn't affect the official Fedora R package, since we never used the bundled libraries. This is documented in the 3.2.0 release notes. If you really want to build from source, I think you can run: yum-builddep R That will install all the necessary Build Requires to build R from source. You need to have the yum-utils package installed for that command to exist. Hope that helps. On May 11, 2015 3:10 AM, Rolf Turner <r.tur...@auckland.ac.nz> wrote: > > On 11/05/15 12:06, M.
