email, do you have sfs for R version of 3.10?

Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry, no.
For which puppy version if I may ask?

If you dare to venture you could build your own.
Download the latest R sources from CRAN servers, unpack them, read the docs, install the devx.sfs and then do something like
this should install R to your computer.
To build a sfs you could do something like
R is not hard to build, so it is a good starting project, although there may be lions.

Does anyone have a version of R that will run on Slacko 5.6 please? I am in the early stages of researching/testing what is available and there seem to be many dead links in various threads.

I did try to download from the main R website but I got many errors when trying to run (I have never run R before so stumbling blind at this stage). This is for my stepdaughter who is a stats fan (weird I know...). Just hoped to demonstrate what puppy can do.
cheers!

Dear greengeek,

I think there is no ready made R package for slackware or slacko. You can download the sourcecode and then compile it yourself. You cannot run the sourcecode. In a previous post I gave a short description, it is not hard to do but needs some work on the commandline. Of course your milage may vary.
kind regards

Hi emil - many thanks for the reply. I am currently trialling Fatdog64 to run an R sfs from forum member "step" to get myself familiar with R, then I will try to complie it for Slacko when I have a better idea of what I am doing.
cheers!

No F77 compiler found.... How do I get one of them and install?

gfortran is the GNU fortran compiler

The devx.sfs package really should have it. In case not, then here is a link to linux binaries:
