[RkWard-devel] Compiling problems.

[David Sibai]

Hi,
A little googling:
 http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/04/1503.html 
shows that libR.so simply does not exist for Fedora Core systems since R is 
not built with the --enable-shlibs option. I suppose your R binary must be 
fairly big, while mine is very small (6k).
Maybe you could rebuild R with the necessary options? You may also want to try 
the debian packages as well (if you installed rpms on your system why not 
debs), which do include the --enable-shlibs option.
