    You can now use the improved Oracle R Distribution with support for dynamically picking up either the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) or the AMD Core Math Library (ACML) with Oracle R Enterprise.

    The improved mathematics libraries are not supported for Solaris.

    The installation scripts have been improved with more prerequisite checks and detailed error messages. Error messages provide specific instructions on remedial actions.
