R help - Aug 2003 - Newbie

I just installed R's RPM on a Linux box using red hat 8.0. I would like to
use some graphical interface (e.g. gnome) but I have not managed to do it.

type R at the prompt in a gnome terminal and
you can use R.

There is the GUI Rcmdr (see message of Sir John
Fox preceding your message), a package you should
install. Install packages car and foreign first, 
because Rcmdr needs them.
(see the R documentation on CRAN on how to install 
a package)
 
If you installed the packages successfully,
type library(Rcmdr) at the R prompt and you
will have a GUI.

HTH,

PS using the command line increases speed
and flexibility IMHO

Try typing 

  R --gui=gnome

at a terminal prompt and see if that works for you.  I don't know if the
binary for RedHat has the GNOME support compiled in.
