I have uploaded a Debian GNU/Linux package for R-0.63.2 to the standard Debian mirrors (in the unstable distribution) and to the CRAN mirror http://cran.stat.wisc.edu/bin/linux/debian/2.1/ It should hit the other CRAN mirrors within two days. The lintian checker for Debian packages complains that this package was compiled with a bad libc. I have not been able to verify this. I think lintian may be wrong. I would appreciate it if someone could test out the installation of this package and tell me if it fails for you. I have not been able to make it fail myself. I believe this will only install under Debian 2.1, which is still in the pre-release "frozen" state. I suspect there will be conflicts with library versions in Debian 2.0. Again, I would appreciate it if someone could verify this for me. I can try to make a 2.0 package of R-0.63.2 but I'm not sure if I have any machines still running 2.0 on which to build it. If someone else wants to build from the sources on a Debian 2.0 system I can describe to you how to do it. It is fairly straightforward. In fact, since the debian directory is included with the R source tree it may be enough to unpack the sources, cd to the directory R-0.63.2 and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b You would need to have the fakeroot package installed to do this. If it works it will build r-base_0.63.1-1_i386.deb in the parent directory. If you want to get the right number for the package, edit the file debian/changelog. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
