Hi, For future reference, posts regarding R and RHEL/Fedora and derivatives should to go R-SIG-Fedora: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora >From looking at the EPEL repo for RHEL 6: http://mirror.sjc02.svwh.net/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/ there are R 3.4.0 RPMS there since May. So: sudo yum install R should get you R 3.4.0 if you have the EPEL repos properly configured. >From a review of the rpy2 page, it would seem that 3.2+ should be ok. If so, I >would recommend installing the R RPMS for 3.4.0 from the EPEL and save >yourself the hassle and potential issues of building from source.
