I know my question has been asked many times. Please, forgive me for asking it once more. It's time to update R version. I run R on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/X. I think I remember on Windows R comes with the un-installer. So I uninstall it first and then I install the latest version. On Mac OS I have no experience of updating R ... I think (and hope) all what I have to do is to drag R icon from the Applications folder into the Trashcan .. This simple operation should get rid of all R files from all the folders where they are placed during the installation procedure. Linux is really the only platform where in the past I manged to mix up pieces from different R versions. My question is: how can I get rid of all the current R files before installing the latest version on Linux/SuSE ? Thank you in advance, Maura tutti i telefonini TIM!

If you manage R through the package managment system of your distribution, all should go well. Cran provides repositories with rpm packages with the latests R version suitable for SUSE[1]. Updating your R should be fine using the package manager. cheers, Paul [1] http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/suse/ -- Drs.

The R versions and supporting modules are stored in the Frameworks folder. If you are going to a new version within a major release, i.e. R 2.10.0x to 2.10.1 then you may not need to trash the GUI. And major version upgrades get new folders anyway and the /Current/ links get updated. Then you would need a new GUI, but the old GUI would get overwritten anyway with a new release when you dragged the R.app and R64.app from the disk image to the Applications folder, unless you rename them first.> Linux is really the only platform where in the past I manged to mix > up pieces from different R versions. > My question is: > how can I get rid of all the current R files before installing the > latest version on Linux/SuSE ? > > Thank you in advance, > Maura > > > > tutti i telefonini TIM! > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT
