I'm running F12. I use texlive - however, the fedora version is too old (2007) and since I coordinate with others in writing papers - all of who use texlive 2009 - I have compatibility problems. (e.g. no biblatex, problems with natbib style files etc) So I installed the upstream 2009 texlive - which works perfectly and exactly the same as everyone else! Problem is I also need to install R - it has texlive as a dependency and doesn't see the already installed texlive - what is the right way to install R - but without it dragging in any fedora based texlive ? The only way I could think of was to hand install using rpm all the packages for R and its dependencies with --force but skipping the texlive ones - is there a better way ? thanks gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
