Recently installed 2.12.1 on my CentOS 5.5 box. Install of R went without incident, and packages downloaded and compiled fine. With one exception -- my interest is somewhat in the problems with this particular package, but more in terms of 'what to do if/when a package' doesn't compile properly

That was it - rebuilt R with --with-tcltk, then tried rebuilding rjags. Seems to have done the trick. egc wrote: Quick followup. Confirmed that TCl/Tk are both installed on the machine (they are, in both 32- and 64-bit flavours), as are all tcl and tk-related libs, devel packages, and about

A while ago I decided to simply download and install every package on CRAN (disk space is cheap these days...). In the process, I kept loose track of which packages generated one or more 'compilation errors' during the install process (machine runs 64-bit Fedora 8, gcc 4.1 etc. etc). Most of the er

Several good suggestions were sent my way - much appreciated. In my experience, any solution to a problem that gives a user write access to anything other than their own /home directories is a disaster waiting to happen (spoken as someone who has burned in past doing otherwise).
