Mageia forum

Dear magicians,

I would like to use rstudio on mageia 3 !
http://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/desktop

Is there any solution to get a precompiled version of this software for the distribution.

regards.

Uhmm, did you try the rpm for Fedora13/OpenSuse?

Code: Select all

Some requested packages cannot be installed:
rstudio-0.97.449-1.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libRblas.so()(64bit))

So the Fedora rpm has requirements that are not met by Mageia3.
A package request could be made at https://bugs.mageia.org/ but as Mageia3 is only days away from release it's unlikely to make it other than in backports after the release.

Of course if some developer takes an interest it may make it's way into Mageia4.

Of course i tried fedora package but many dependancies lacks.

Hope to see it in the backports soon.
I have 2 requests for this soft in my lab...

Thank you for your answers.
Gonna try to ask Rstudio.org directly.

Regards.

I'm also interested in the rstudio package.
I made a bug report about it: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10515

In the meantime, could the Mageia team suggest us a workaround for this issue?

Best regards.

The only "solution" that I found at the moment is to compile R (with --enable-R-shlib) and RStudio from sources.
Was a terrible experience figure out all the dependencies. But well, I have it at least.

Best.

I was able to make it installing both from the sources.

Here a list of dependencies you have to install before even think on compiling (I installed the 64 bit version):

- ant
- boost-build
- boost-jam
- lib64lapack3
- lib64lapack-devel
- cairo
- cairo-devel
- lib64jpeg8
- lib64jpeg-devel
- lib64png12
- lib64png-devel
- lib64tiff5
- lib64tiff-devel
- lib64blas3
- lib64blas-devel
- lib64x11_6
- lib64x11_6-devel
- lib64xorg-x11-devel
- cmake-qtgui
- lib64qt4-devel
- gcc-gfortran
- gcc
- gcc-c++
- gcc-objc++
- libstdc++5
- libstdc++5-devel
- lib64uuid1
- lib64uuid-devel

Most of them will be already installed on your computer, but they are easy to install with urpmi.
There might be more dependencies, depending on your installation, but this was what I had to install before start...

Good Look!!
