Hi, I'm using R 2.5.0 on openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 with biocLite packages. I'm wanted to use the arrayQuality package with some agilent data. I'm unable to install the hexbin package which is a dependency with the following: lxuser at linux-4j12:~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.5> R CMD INSTALL /home/ lxuser/hexbin_1.10.0.tar.gz * Installing to library '/home/lxuser/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu- library/2.5' * Installing *source* package 'hexbin' ... ** libs gfortran -fpic -c hbin.f -o hbin.o make: gfortran: Command not found make: *** [hbin.o] Error 127 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'hexbin' ** Removing '/home/lxuser/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu- library/2.5/hexbin' lxuser at linux-4j12:~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.5> R CMD INSTALL /home/lxuser/hexbin_1.10.0.tar.gz * Installing to library '/home/lxuser/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu- library/2.5' * Installing *source* package 'hexbin' ... ** libs gfortran -fpic -c hbin.f -o hbin.o make: gfortran: Command not found make: *** [hbin.o] Error 127 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'hexbin' ** Removing '/home/lxuser/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu- library/2.5/hexbin' I have the gcc compiler installed according to YAST.

Yes, but gcc isn't gfortran, which is the error you are seeing. Installing gfortran would be the first step here.
