I got a new Dell workstation with Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5.3. I am trying to install R package and Bioconductor, but I have the problem of the dependencies.

Comment 2 James Antill 2011-06-23 17:10:15 UTC
This is a bug in the packaging for R in EPEL.

R-devel-2.13.0-1.el5.x86_64 from epel has depsolving problems

Comment 3 sunkorner 2011-06-24 02:22:28 UTC
Please can you suggest a ideal R-devel package which I can install. Thank you

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-06-27 15:43:46 UTC
So, this is not a bug in the packaging for R, but rather, for some reason, your RHEL subscription cannot find the necessary devel packages, specifically:

--> Missing Dependency: libX11-devel
--> Missing Dependency: pcre-devel
--> Missing Dependency: tcl-devel
--> Missing Dependency: tk-devel

In RHEL 5.6 Workstation, these packages are present.

The reason for the inability to find these packages is from your logs:

This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

Without RHN support, you cannot download any updates (or any new packages from RHEL). You will need to enable your workstation via RHN, there is some documentation on how to do that here:

https://access.redhat.com/support/start/

Once your system is enabled on RHN, this yum command will succeed.
