installing twitteR package and its dependencies in SUSE 11.3

installing twitteR package and its dependencies in SUSE 11.3  
Installing R on SUSE 11.3

I was trying to install twitteR library


into R. but it didn't worked out for me as it was easy in windows. 



So here is the tutorial for installing twitteR library into R 



in SUSE 11.3.



Firstly I started using Rstudio since
this was providing me a GUI interface at-least.






install.packages("twitteR")Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/lib/R/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘bitops’, ‘RCurl’, ‘rjson’

WTF?? ISnt make installed by defaulf in SUSE????????????

I guess not.


lets install make


got some advice here .. make is a different tool
http://www.unix.com/suse/145334-suse-11-how-run-make.html

Listening to Challa from Harinder Sandhu use yast to install make .. I installed multiple files that looked
like make ?? ;)
 




 
 
fianlly which make worked for me...


which make
/usr/bin/make

R CMD INSTALL --build bitops_1.0-4.1.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/usr/lib/R/library’
* installing *source* package ‘bitops’ ...

make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [bit-ops.o] Error 127

* removing ‘/usr/lib/R/library/bitops’



SO gcc is even not installed in SUSE b default..


lets go back to YAST intaller

SHit its 38 MB and taking some time

CHALLA carry on.. by the way what does it mean by CHALLA??? 

ok intallation done.. lets go back to work

which gcc works now


linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages #
 R CMD INSTALL --build bitops_1.0-4.1.tar.gz

packaged installation of ‘bitops’ as ‘bitops_1.0-4.1_R_i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz’

* DONE (bitops)

So bitops is installed now.. lets move on further

install all prerequisite packages for twitteR

and it will work now.


NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
For building rjason using R CMD INSTALL command... it  requires 
g++ compiler GNU C/C++ compiler also
so install g++ also from YAST installer........

linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages # R CMD INSTALL 
--build rjson_0.2.8.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/usr/lib/R/library’
* installing *source* package ‘rjson’ ...

-fpic  -fomit-frame-pointer -fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables  
-c dump.cpp -o dump.o
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [dump.o] Error 127
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘rjson’
* removing ‘/usr/lib/R/library/rjson’
linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages # g++
If 'g++' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to 
lookup the package that contains it, like this:
 cnf g++
linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages # which g++
which: no g++ in (/home/bhupinder/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin)

After Insalling using YAST
linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages # which g++
/usr/bin/g++


FINALLY JSON IS INSALLED 


linux-ns0g:/tmp/RtmpoTpMNY/downloaded_packages # R CMD INSTALL

whoooo hooo!!


NOW I CAN EVEN USE RSTUDIO FOR INSTALLING THE twitteR package






and finally ....


> require(twitteR)
Loading required package: twitteR
Loading required package: RCurl
Loading required package: bitops
Loading required package: rjson



its done


I will also provide tutorial on how to use R for data mining in twitter using twitteR package soon.


cheers!
