Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, as a beginner in R, I encountered a sort of "naturally given limits"concerning the process of amending R with packages. I apparently own version 3.0.2 and I principally decided to use R via the RKWard GUI on Linux Kubuntu Trusty Tahr; the R version installed on my computer is admittedly not far from the basics provided by my distribution's package management (also throughout multiple rounds of updates/ upgrades of the system). What would I have to do to finally update/ upgrade beyond that R version? Would that process (generally?) affect any/ my GUI? This problem appeared to me as I was busy installing packages an received the error message "package ?ATLAS? is not available (for R version 3.0.2) ". I am quite desperate and would look forward to be indicated a path to a sustainable solution or be told how to mitigate/ circumvent (these/ such) problems. Thanks a lot! Best regards,Markus Hofstetter [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
