r - How to configure and build lzma on CentOS 6?

Question

I am trying to configure and build lzma version 5.0.3 or higher on CentOS 6. I try install R version 3.5.2.

./configure --enable-R-shlib

But this error

Checking if lzma version >= 5.0.3... no

I installed lzma version 4.999.

Answer 1

There is no 5.x.x version package available for CentOS 6 They are having beta version at 4.9.9 Click to check

I suggest you to upgrade your CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 And then you will get support in OS to install latest distribution of this and other packages

sudo yum install xz

And also you can go to this link and download it manually and install it us

sudo rpm -i {package}
