I need to install R-2.15.2, the latest version. I tried using
blah> sudo yum install R
to install R, but for whatever reason (maybe because it's an old version of Fedora?) my system thinks R version 13 is the most recent. So, I downloaded the .tar.gz file from R's site and used the following:
blah> tar -xvf R-2.15.2.tar.gz
This successfully unzipped the file. I then ran:
blah> ./configure
blah/R-2.15.2> ls
ChangeLog COPYING Makeconf.in ONEWS src VERSION-NICK
config.log doc Makefile.fw OONEWS SVN-REVISION
config.site etc Makefile.in po tests
configure INSTALL NEWS README tools
configure.ac m4 NEWS.pdf share VERSION
As you can see, makefiles are present. However, when I run "make" within the R folder, I get the following error:
blah/R-2.15.2> make
make: No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Is there any way I can fix this issue? I'm guessing people will recommend updating Fedora, but is there another way?
