Hi, Is it possible to install R in a linux box (Debian) without being a root. I know I can compile the R source code, but there is no F77 compiler on the box. So is it possible to install binary R without being a root? Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I did this last night on a SuSE box with 2.4.0 prior to doing a final make install as root. jab -- John Bollinger, CFA, CMT www.BollingerBands.com If you advance far enough, you arrive at the beginning.
Perhaps you might have a look at the quantian live distribution. If you can boot your PC from this you have access to R and you should be able to acess and use any data files on your hard disk. The current Quantian live DVD is based on Knoppix 4.02 (I think). I have installed the Quantian DVD on a USB hard drive and boot from a knoppix 4.02 live CD on one PC Best Regards John On 13/12/06, lu kan <lukanlu@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:> > Hi, Is it possible to install R in a linux box (Debian) without being a > root.
