The code below will install R to the default location for a source install,
presuming that you have root access and did not get any errors or warnings as a
result of that process.
That begs the question then, how was the prior version of R installed? It sounds
like there is a conflict in that the prior version is in a location that
precedes the new version in your $PATH.
Commonly, I believe, the executable for R on Linux is installed in
/usr/local/bin, but may be elsewhere (eg. /usr/bin), depending upon how it was
installed. You can locate which R is being executed on your system by using:
which R
in a console.
That will give you some hints as to location. Within the version of R that is
running, you can use:
R.home()
to find out where the old primary R tree has been installed, including packages.
I would use that information to remove the old installation.
If you are on RHEL or a compatible server distribution like CentOS (you did not
answer that) and have root access, I would recommend using the EPEL:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
to configure your system to use the pre-built binary RPMs for R via yum. You can
then use:
yum install R
as root to install R and also handle future updates via yum. You should remove
all vestiges of both the old R install and the new source R install before doing
that however.
Regards,
Marc
