I recently updated R on Linus/SuSE 11.1 I complained because no on-line help was available from JGR after R update. I was told to update JGR as well. How can I do that ? I installed JGR on SuSE three times in the past with different R versions.Every time it's been a nightmare. I am afraid to have to spend a whole day, maybe longer, to update JGR ... I would greatly appreciate some clear guidelines for JGR installation/update on SuSE. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Maura E.M. tutti i telefonini TIM! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

"Run JGR() for details. You can also use JGR(update=TRUE) to update JGR." This should install the latest development version. I would also look into ?update.packages. Liviu

If that fails then either R or Java on your system are not setup properly. Instructions for installing JGR from scratch on SuSE are at http://jgr.markushelbig.org/JGR_on_Linux.html If all that doesn't help all I can say if you want easier setup get a more user-firendy distro or system ;).
