Hello ... With a new checkout of R-devel, I'm getting the following error on startup: Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or 'help.start()' for a HTML browser interface to help. Type 'q()' to quit R. Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open compressed file `/home/jgentry/R-1.9.0/library/methods/R/all.rda'> search()[1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:stats" "package:graphics" "package:utils" [5] "Autoloads" "package:base" Warning message: package methods in options("defaultPackages") was not found This is happening on Linux (RH7.2, RH9.0) and Solaris 8. Thanks -J
There has been a problem with (someone else's!) update to package stats. As with yesterday, it should already be fixed in cvs and will get fixed in rsync. A clean build from the cvs works. You should have seen an error message earlier in the build process.

I don't think it exists. -- Brian D.

That is, remove the contents of /home/jgenty/R-1.9.0 before installing. Also you may want to check that you have used a delete option in your rsync update of your sources. Many directories have been moved recently and having vestigial copies of some files can be problematic.
