hi I've used R for many years on windows machines, but have now acquired an Asus eee 1000 linux machine.
In order to get the best out of the machine, I used the 'pimpmyeee.sh' script, to get the full KDE desktop. The version of Linux is Xandros, which I believe is a close relative of Debian, but sadly I have only a nodding acquaintance with Linux at present. Naturally I want to have the current version of R on it, and I understand (or possibly misunderstand) that the binary for the Debian flavour of Linux should do the trick. I have tried - 1. using synaptic to add the appropriate (I think) CRAN repository ... but every combination I have tried gives a 404 error 2. downloading from CRAN what I think is a zipped-up version of r-base software, and thewn using the eee's file-manager 'install DEB package' option ... but this returns 'cannot load ... '. I'm a bit stuck ... can anyone help please ? thanks Bob Kinley [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
