Hi, This was recently asked here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-April/074157.html Martyn provided a resolution in the follow up post, including a pointer to the EPEL, where there are pre-compiled RPMs for R. For future reference, there is a dedicated e-mail list for queries pertaining to R on RH/Fedora based distributions: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora Regards, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ 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.
