R?

Tue Oct 15 16:37:08 UTC 2013

OK, you are missing some packages (not from R):

sudo yum provides */libpng-config

yields:

2:libpng-devel-1.5.13-2.fc19.i686 : Development tools for programs to
manipulate : PNG image format files
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/libpng-config

So install:

sudo yum install libpng-devel

I suspect this takes care of the other error also.

The professor needs to be asked what use this sort of "learning" how
to use a package is? Monkey-see-monkey-do is all one will get.....throw
in a non-standard scenario and what will the students (or the professor
himself) do?

Nevertheless, HTH!
