I have installed the latest version of Linux Mint (17.1) in my computer. I installed R version 3.0.2. However, when I try to install the package xslsx, or dplyr, the system says that these packages are unavailable for the R version I have, and that the shall be installed on the R 3.1.2 version. 've been trying to upgrade R from all the possible means but I haven't had a sucessful result. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Follow the instructions posted here: How to upgrade R in ubuntu?
Note that Linux Mint 17.1 relies upon the Ubuntu Trusty package base, so you will need to use trusty/ as the Ubuntu version. Also, make sure to use the command sudo apt-get upgrade r-base at the end of the procedure, not just sudo apt-get upgrade, otherwise R won't be upgraded.
Your question may be considered off-topic, but it can be helpful to other Mint users.
Hope this will help, your question helped me alot... Note that Linux mint is based on ubuntu trusty...

Version specific installation using source code is much different than the installation using YUM or APT. It depends on OS version and the number of dependencies that need to be met for the installation to complete successfully. I have documented the installation of R 3.3.3 on SLES11 SP3 in http://hashprompt.blogspot.com/2017/06/installation-of-r-on-suse-linux.html Hope that it might help you install on linux systems.
I can't figure out how to install properly from the tar.gz file linked from the main R page. I download it, I run ./configure make, and it installs to my Downloads folder. Couldn't figure out how to install it properly elsewhere (must be easy, but I'm green on these things -- advice appreciated), and RStudio, e.g., doesn't know to look in my Downloads folder for the current version (also probably not the most robust approach).
Instead, I was able to grab the last r-base-dev .deb file from trusty here/xenial here, which handles installation automatically.
R versions 3.5+ have changed directories:
trusty
xenial

I use debian 8 Jessie, which has only gcc-4.9 available in the repositories. I tried to install gcc-4.7 in two ways without success.
First try
I tried installing gcc manually by downloading the file gcc-4.7.0.tar.gz
But when I install the dependency libraries (apt-get install Libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gcc-multilib)
the Debian installs, without asking gcc-4.9 and the compatible libraries with gcc-4.9.
I try run make for manual installation, but errors occur and it is not possible to install manually.
Second Try
I tried adding PPA repositories with gcc-4.7, in the file /etc/apt/sourc.list
Add-apt-repository ppa: ubuntu-toolchain-r / test as it teaches in this Link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/193513/problem-adding-a-ppa-to-install-gcc-4-7
When try apt-get install gcc-4.7 you are prompted to install several Dependencies ... when requesting to install the dependencies, the Below.
Root # vmhp110deb8: / home / user1 # apt-get install gcc-4.7 gcc-4.7-base
Reading package lists ... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Done
Note, by selecting 'gcc-4.7-base' for regex 'gcc-4.7'
Package gcc-4.7-base is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
Is available from another source
E: Package 'gcc-4.7-base' has no installation candidate
Root # vmhp110deb8: / home / user1 # add-apt-repository ppa: ubuntu-toolchain-r / test
I tried to find a repository that has gcc-4.7-base, but then it asks Installation of other dependencies, and informs that it has not found
Libraries are Obsolete, etc.
Attempt not yet tested
Another idea that i had is download the Debian 7 Wheezy DVD (which I think Which has gcc-4.7 and all dependencies) and add as repository, For debian to find all dependencies of gcc.4.7 on DVD. But this idea i not have tested yet.
Could anyone help me with how I could install gcc 4.7 on debian 8?
As you can read here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765379
gcc-4.7 is not included in Debian Jessie
Maybe you can try this
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7
EDIT : You already tries this. I didnt notice.
Try this manual:
http://charette.no-ip.com:81/programming/2011-12-24_GCCv47/
I hope this helps to you :)
I just switched from Mac to Linux, so while I have a basic understanding of Linux structure, there are still some things Im trying to clear up. This is one of them.
I have tried multiple ways (referencing multiple forum posts) to install the latest version of R (3.2.1 "World-Famous Astronaut") on Linux Mint 17.1 (MATE).
I tried different sources lists, the most recent being:
deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/debian wheezy-cran3/
but when I call:
apt-cache showpkg r-base-dev
with each of the ones I try, I always get:
3.0.2-1ubuntu1
as the most recent one available.
Also, my sources.list only contains that above deb, so I do not think its a /etc/apt/preferences/ issue.
Has anyone been able to install 3.2.1 on Linux Mint?
Thanks in advance!
Tom
Briefly:
Did you also run sudo apt-get update ?
Look at apt-cache policy r-base-dev which will shows which versions apt "knowns"
Mint ain't Debian so hell may still break loose ...
Ok, I figured it out. Thanks for all the help! I will post an answer here for anyone else trying to figure this out:
First I ran:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
to get into my sources.list. To that I added:
deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/debian wheezy-cran3/
and then added the key: (thanks Dirk for the suggestion):
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 381BA480
sudo apt-get update
then when I ran:
apt-cache showpkg r-base-dev
to see the available packages. The top one was:
Package: r-base-dev
Versions:
3.2.1-1~wheezycran3.0(/var/lib/apt/lists/cran.rstudio.com_bin_linux_debian_wheezy-cran3_Packages)
so, finally I ran:
sudo apt-get install -f r-base=3.2.1-1~wheezycran3.0
which worked great!
I have mpif90 for MPICH version 3.0.4, but I want to remove it and install mpich2. There is a problem with the dislin library, so I need mpich2.
While on my debian distro sudo apt-get install mpich2 installs me mpif90 for MPICH2 version 1.4.1 (it is the right one I need), if I run (on Ubuntu where I already have MPICH version 3.0.4) sudo apt-get remove libmpich10 libmpich-dev and then sudo apt-get install mpich2 it still installs mpif90 for MPICH version 3.0.4
How can I do?
UPDATE 1
Thanks. But if I try to install it with dpkg -i mpich2_1.4.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb I first have to remove the previous version 3.0.4, because they are in conflict.
I remove it, I try to install the 1.4.1 but there are unsolved dependencies (libmpich2-3 -1.4.1 NOT INSTALLABLE, libcr0 NOT INSTALLED, libhwloc4, hwloc-nox). So as suggested I run apt-get -f install but it installs 3.0.4
On Debian it works fine, 64 bit, wheezy release. On Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, it doesn't work.
You are asking how you can downgrade vendor-packaged mpich-3.0.4 to mpich2-1.4.1
Debian and Ubuntu make upgrading really easy. Downgrading is a little tricky and might require pinning a package, rebuilding an old .deb for a newer platform, or you can just build MPICH2-1.4.1 from source.
Debian: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/mpich2
Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/mpich2
Source: http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4.1/
A word of caution: if you ask anybody for help with MPICH2-1.4, the very first thing you are going to hear is "wow, that is 2 years old. can you try the latest version?"
I'm trying to configure powertop-2.5 but when I run ./configure I get a "configure: error: libnl and libnl-genl are required but were not found" error
I've run
sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf libnl-dev ncurses-dev pciutils-dev build-essential -y
as was recommended by these guys but I get the same error.
I ran
sudo apt-get install libnl-genl-3-dev
Which replaced the previous libnl file but I still get the config error.
According to this, powertop has (or had) problems with detecting libnl but I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'm currently running Linux username 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 i686 GNU/Linux
I see you tried libnl-dev, maybe try libnl-3-dev instead:
sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
Probably the problem is the lack of the pkg-config application in your system (which is used to find the proper dependencies with the configure script). I just have the same problem in a fresh installed Ubuntu 14.04 system, and after installing the pkg-config package the configure script finalized successfully its work. Then I could compile and install the last version (2.6.1) of powertop.
I "solved" my problem by installing powertop-2.0 instead.
The use of pkg-config made the trick. I was able to install Powertop 2.7.
recently i tried to install oracle on my linux with apt (I never used yum before) using fast manual:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/ginnydbinstallonlinux-488779.html
And after command:
sudo yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
I got error:

And something gone wrong because command like: ps, top are crashing

ps: relocation error: ps: symbol procps_number_version, version _3_2_5 not defined in file libproc-3.2.8.so with link time reference

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
then I tryied to uninstall oracle and dependencies but after command:
sudo yum remove oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jul 10 2013, 06:42:56) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
So it seems like yum install in my system new libraries but didn't link it correctly? I dont know what do in this moment because it seems like armagedon on my ubuntu...
Does this mean you're on ubuntu and tried to install rpm packages using yum? The manual you used is for Oracle Linux 6, why would you try that on ubuntu?
rpm packages are not compatible with debian based systems like ubuntu, which use deb packages. So you've probably screwed your system big time, overwriting important system libraries with incompatible ones.
If apt-get is still working, then you can try to reinstall (apt-get --reinstall install) the equivalent libraries to the ones mentioned in the install manual you linked to - naming isn't always the same for rpm and deb packages. dpkg -l should help you see which the correct installed libraries are. I'd start with the C libraries (libc) etc.
But if apt-get is screwed also, then you'd need to download the packages manually from an ubuntu mirror and install them using dpkg, but I think a reinstall (or restore from backup if you have one) would be the best option.
