I use linux debian testing for which the latest debianized version of R is 1.8.1. Therefore I installed: r-base-core_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb r-base-dev_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-base-html_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-base-latex_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-base_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-doc-html_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-doc-info_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-doc-pdf_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb r-gnome_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb r-mathlib_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb r-recommended_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb Being impatient of moving to R v. 1.9.0 I would like to install and compile R from the source code in the *.tgz file from CRAN. My question is: In so doing will anything be missing with respect to the deb packages I've mentioned? (e.g. r-gnome? r-mathlab?) Ciao Vittorio
I have done that with no problems... Jean, On Tue, 18 May 2004 v.demartino2 at virgilio.it wrote:> I use linux debian testing for which the latest debianized version of R > is 1.8.1.

We are still working out how to provide R packages for Debian testing and Debian stable on CRAN again. As Dirk Eddelbuettel and Fritz Leisch and I will have a chance to discuss this during useR!2004 we should be able to have a new system for the Debian section of CRAN in place for the 1.9.1 release of R.
I have R 1.9.0 on sid, apt-getting stuff from cran... I too noticed that cran has R 1.8.1 for Debian, but as I got R 1.9.0 I just ignored the differences in labelling. BTW, it is R that tells me it is R 1.9.0 when I fire it up. And has the "stats" library that I did not remember in R 1.8.* Federico -- ================================ Federico C. F.
