It is unexpected. Is it new in 2.0.1 beta? You have told us your kernel, not your distro. This looks like a bug, but not in R. > Also, I think "R CMD config --version" still has a bug, or a least it > does not report what I would expect: > > ~/toolchain/R/src/R-beta:bin/R CMD config --version > R configuration information retrieval script 1.3 > > Copyright (C) 2002 The R Core Development Team. > This is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence version 2 > or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. It's what it is documented to do: gannet% R CMD config --help Usage: R CMD config [options] [VAR] Get the value of a basic R configure variable VAR which must be among those listed in the 'Variables' section below, or the header and library flags necessary for linking against R. Options: -h, --help print short help message and exit -v, --version print version info and exit ... All the 'R CMD foo' tools do that. If you want the R version, that is 'R --version'. -- Brian D.
