Hi. I should preface this by saying I really don't know what I am doing, I am trying to install R on my dreamhost account so I can run some R scripts on a cron job so I am trying to pick up some of this stuff with internet searches. I am trying to follow your code but it breaks with this line when (I guess) trying to install R:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/run --with-x=no LDFLAGS=-L${HOME}/run/lib
it seems that my dreamhost does not have a fortran compiler? How do I get around this? Especially since you used the command "gfortran" soon after this, but when I type gfortran into my shell it doesnt know what I am talking about.
Any help would be seriously appreciated!!
Also, I guess there is a small typo in your code with the version numbers not matching:
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.14.2.tar.gz
tar xvzf R-2.13.1.tar.gz
cd ~/soft/R-2.13.1
