Dear all, I am sorry in advance because probably my question was already discussed. I have installed an R version R-1.3.1 on Linux RedHat 6.2. As I want to install R-1.5.0, I have first followed a suggestion of Peter Dalgaard (mail in FAQ) in order to keep the version R-1.3.1 by renaming /usr/local/lib/R and /usr/local/bin/R (/usr/local/lib/R-1.3.1 and /usr/local/bin/R-1.3.1 )and then set R_HOME_DIR to the new location. Now I run R by typing R-1.3.1 After keeping the version R-1.3.1, I have tried to install R-1.5.0. But when I try to untar R-1.5.0.z.tgz with tar xvfz R-1.5.0 I get at the end the following error message: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors So the commands ./configure and make are not operated. I don't know how to continue the installation. Thank you in advance.
