When installing R on Linux CentOS 6.3 I get the following:

Error: Package: R-core-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libjpeg.so.62(LIBJPEG_6.2)(64bit)
Error: Package: glibc-headers-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.x86_64 (updates)
           Requires: kernel-headers
Error: Package: glibc-headers-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.x86_64 (updates)
           Requires: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1

This is after I install the epel 6 via:

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

then trying:

yum install R

  • Maybe the dependencies didn't all get installed? Can you adding the libjpeg and kernel headers packages explicitly? – Peter Aug 06 '13 at 19:18
  • The libjpeg piece appears to be a known incompatibility with 6.3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980135 – scttl Mar 10 '14 at 17:21

Hi You can install the missing packages by downloading rpm and install using rpm command

libjpeg.so.62 and kernel-headers

To install .rpm package use the following steps

rpm -iv package.rpm

Try

yum install R

After that. :)

If this is a Windows Azure CentOS 6.3 instance, you may have to run:

sudo yum --disableexcludes=main install kernel-headers-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.openlogic.x86_64
