R help - Oct 2004 - console under Mandrake

Hello,

I recently compiled R 2.0.0 under Mandrake 9, but it won't run unless in a
terminal; is there a way to run it in a console, like in Windows?

TIA,
Adrian

Yes.  Did you read the manual the INSTALL file pointed you to?
See appendix B.6 in the version I am looking at.

Or see `An Introduction to R' appendix B.1 and look for --gui.

[To run the GNOME console I think you need R-patched, not 2.0.0 as 
distributed.]

Another approach is to run John Fox's Rcmdr package that provides a 
console.
