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

Hi,
the Fedora maintainer of TeX Live provides a repository for TeX Live 2010 :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive
This may be better than using the upstream installation. And so you can help to improve this packaging by using it and reporting bugs :-).
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.
