Hi I want to install some versions of R simultaneously from source on a computer (running Linux). Some programs have an option to specify a suffix for the executable (eg R would become R-2.7.2 when the suffix is specified as "-2.7.2"). I did not find this option for R - did I overlook it?
If it is not, how is it possible to have several versions of R on one computer, or is the only way to compile them and then call R in the directory of the version where it was compiled (~/R-2.7.2/bin/R)? If this is the case, would it be possible to add this o[ptiuon to specify the suffix for the executables? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M.
