(Thanks for answers on my naif dual processor question!). I'm going to compile R-1.4.0 for linux (Suse 7.3) and hesitate at including the gnome interface. Do people that have tried the gnome interface recommend it? How is R started with this interface? If I build with the --with-gnome option, will still have the option of actually not using the interface if I don't find it useful?

Up to you to use it or not. Debian ships R with Gnome support. Dirk -- Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment. -- F.

However, I find the gnome interface to be not as useful as the commandline interface. Readline isn't available and interrupting computations doesn't work as reliably as in the commandline interface. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Suchandra S.

I understand that the Gnome interface is experimental and not supported if not specified during configuration. I did compile the source files of 1.4.1 as follows: ./configure --with-gnome. At the end of the process, I had NO support for gnome. Can you please help me?

My guess is that you need to have the Gnome development libraries or some other library installed first ... some Linux distributions do not install these by default.
