similar to: Backporting R 3.0.0 to Quantal, Precise, and Lucid

This is a post I just added to my Ubuntu R Blog (http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html). As you may (or may not) be aware of, R 3.0.0 is [scheduled to be released](http://www.r-project.org/) on April 3rd. Since this is a major release and there may be some growing pains (but I hope not) in the move 3.0.0, here is some information

New .deb packages for R 3.0.0 on Raring Ringtail (13.04) are available on both [CRAN](http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/) and my [Launchpad PPA](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter). Some notes for this release. - The initial build for Raring Ringtail did not come with Tcl/Tk being supported. This issue has been addressed and the current release supports Tcl/Tk. -

I have been a little quiet on the update front for the past few months, so I thought I would give a quick update as 2014 begins. Between increased responsibilities at work (pseudo-department chair) and some family health issues, work on [cran2deb4ubuntu](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u) (c2d4u) slowed a bit in the last half of 2013. Here is the current state of

This issue has been solved. I didn't change to trusty when I updated Ubuntu. I now have the following lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://cran.utstat.utoronto.ca/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/ and deb http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe I also installed the keys described on http://mirror.las.iastate.edu/CRAN/ but I'm not sure if I needed

Ubuntu users, The latest version of Ubuntu (12.04 LTS: Precise Pangolin) has been released. Current R packages are also available from the following locations: The CRAN repository http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ My Launchpad PPA (feeds CRAN, has a few more packages) https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter cran2deb4ubuntu (over 1000 packages found in CRAN Taskviews, not

Timothy, The link from stackoverflow gave some bad advice, IMO. You should be using the RRutter PPA, not RDev. RDev is the where I build not-ready-for-prime-time versions of R, and sometimes they break other things. RRutter is what is used to seed CRAN. Here is the link: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter I would remove the RDev PPA and install RRutter. The newest

As per a request, here is a brief guide to what is available to R users as packages in Ubuntu. Each release of Ubuntu includes the latest version of R and the recommended packages. In addition, there are approximately 80 additional r-cran packages available in the default repositories. The limitation to these packages is that they are not updated and reflect the current version of the

Ubuntu users, If you would like to beta test R 2.13.0 before the official release date on Ubuntu (any current release), you can add my Launchpad PPA with: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter More information can be found at the PPA site itself: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter The beta of R 2.13 is also available at the PPA for the upcoming Ubuntu release Natty

Ubuntu R users, Early this month, version 3.0 of JAGS was released on its Sourceforge page. Dirk Eddelbuettel and I quickly rolled up packages for Debian and Ubuntu, respectively. If you are an Ubuntu user who utilizes my Launchpad PPA for your R related .deb files, JAGS was updated automatically. The downside to this is that JAGS 3.0 is not compatible with the R package rjags, also found

Users of R and Ubuntu, Due to the loss of a server, I have taken over the building of both the i386 and amd64 binaries of R for Ubuntu. Those builds are now being mirrored to the CRAN servers. A few things have changed. 1. The packages are now signed by me, not Vincent Goulet. You will have to add my key (E084DAB9) with apt-key. See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ for more

Dear Ubunutu R users, Vincent Goulet and myself would like to announce the availability of R 2.11.0 for Ubuntu's latest release, Lucid Lynx. The packages should be on or arriving soon to your favorite mirror. R 2.11.0 packages also exist on CRAN for all Ubuntu releases going back to hardy. As Johannes Ranke pointed out for the Debian release, R packages installed under R < 2.10.0

Thank you very much Christophe by your advice. However, my situation was the opposite to yours, because I'm behind a proxy but my sudo account couldn't see it, and when looked for the proxy configuration of the sudo account with : $ sudo printenv | grep proxy the result was empty. Finally, thanks to all the advice received in this thread, I could fix the problem by editing the

It appears that the revoluton-mkl package, available via the multiverse Ubuntu repository with the purpose of adding multi-threaded numeric libraries to R, is not function correctly with R 2.13 (at least the version found on CRAN). Testing with "R-benchmark-25.R" (found at http://r.research.att.com/benchmarks/), I get the following error, after installing the revolution-mkl package
