R help - Jan 2007 - r under suse

Hello,
I've been using R under win XP and I am now changing my system to opensuse
10.2
When using:
rpm -i R-base-2.4.1-2.1.i586.rpm

I find something like that

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/R/library/tcltk/exec/util.tc
;45b943fe:
cpio: read failed - Bad file descriptor

Any suggestions?

Regards
Eugen

The first thing that comes to mind is the possibility that the RPM file
that you downloaded is corrupted.

I would re-download the RPM file, possibly from a different CRAN mirror,
and try it again.
