Wow. Well, I can't say that I'm building anything for end-of-lifed Fedora releases, though I understand your predicament. That said, I am still building for EL5, which is older than Fedora 17, so you could try to rebuild the R src.rpm from koji. If it does not work properly, let me know, and I will try to fix the conditionals so that it does. Glad you got it working. :) ~tom == Red Hat ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
