R is included in Leap itself, the package is called R-base.
Or do you really need R-patched from that repository you mentioned? I don’t even know what that is (although it just seems to be a version with the latest patches from upstream)…
If yes, you could ask the maintainer to add a Leap 42.1 repo, see here:
I also have a bit trouble getting R and RStudio to run, but I have to admit I am new to openSuse.
So, I installed openSuse Leap and I thought R was already included.
I didnt find it in YaST packet manager so I installed it per “1-click” from this link. http://software.opensuse.org/package/R-base
R works from the konsole but I think something went wrong:
1.)
After the installation I was looking for R in the YaST package manager under the cathegory where all the other languages (python, java…) are.
I didn’t find it there. Later I realized it was somewhere in a little subcategory under “Math” (far down the list).
2.)
Afterwards I installed RStudio via YaST (didnt find R in YaST but RStudio…). When I run RStudio from Krunner the little RStudio icon appears but then nothing happens.
If I try to run it from the konsole, nothing happens at all.
rstudio which was shown in YaST probably was an older version.
I went to the RStudio website and downloaded the .rpm from there.
Everything works fine now.
