[R] [?] update.packages() - Linux

I am running R 1.2.1 under Mandrake Linux 7.2 (installed from RPM)
and I installed a few packages using install.packages() . Now, I 
am trying to upgrade these packages using update.packages() but I 
believe I am running into some kind of error. See below. Any tips
will be greatly welcome. Thanks in advance. Francisco 

PS: update.packages() only tries to update wle from version 0.3 
to 0.4, gives me an error message at the end, and 
installed.packages() continues to list version 0.3 as the installed 
version. I ran install.packages("package-name") as root, and am 
running update.packages() as root. I must be missing something 
simple.

Mike Meyer solved this on 24 Jan:

   Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 13:48:53 -0800
   From: "Michael M. Meyer" <mikem at salter-point.com>
   
   install.packages want to run
      cmd <- paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "R")
   (which on my system is /usr/lib/R/bin/R).
   
   Unfortunately ( and this is R 1.2.1, installed from the rpm on CRAN) 
   that shell script has /var/tmp/R-base-root/usr/lib/R hard coded as the 
   R_Home.
   
   Here is the diff between /usr/bin/R and /usrlib/R/bin/R.
   
   ->meyer<-:/usr/lib/R/bin> diff /usr/lib/R/bin/R /usr/bin/R
   4c4
   < R_HOME_DIR=/var/tmp/R-base-root/usr/lib/R
   ---
   > R_HOME_DIR=/usr/lib/R
   
   A "quick" fix is to cp /usr/bin/R to /usr/lib/R/bin/R
