[R-sig-Debian] can't launch R after "installing" it
Hi everyone, I'm writing on behalf of a friend who's got a Ubuntu 9.04 system. After an apparent successful installation of R (via sudo apt-get install r-base), her attempts of loading R (typing 'R' on the terminal) always return a message stating that it is not installed. Since I'm no expert on Ubuntu nor on its package manag. system and, additionally, I failed on finding descriptions on the web of similar problems (not that they don't exist), I wonder if any of you could give me a pointer on how to proceed on such situation. Thank you very much, b

Can your friend try installing r-base-core and see what happens? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg
