I'm running F12. I use texlive - however, the fedora version is too<br>
old (2007) and since I coordinate with others in writing papers - all<br>
of who use texlive 2009 - I have compatibility problems. (e.g. no<br>
biblatex, problems with natbib style files etc)<br>
<br>
So I installed the upstream 2009 texlive - which works perfectly and<br>
exactly the same as everyone else!<br>
<br>
Problem is I also need to install R - it has texlive as a dependency<br>
and doesn't see the already installed texlive - what is the right way to<br>
install R - but without it dragging in any fedora based texlive ?<br>
<br>
The only way I could think of was to hand install using rpm all the<br>
packages for R and its dependencies with --force but skipping the<br>
texlive ones - is there a better way ?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

This may be better than using the upstream installation. And so you can help to improve this packaging by using it and reporting bugs :-).<br><br>But if you can't/don't want to remove your TeX Live installation, a (bad) solution could be to build an empty RPM that will simply contain a "Provides: texlive > 2007" or something like this to fool R packages.<br>
