Dear loren, Thank you for your reply! I did try to install directly from source code. However I got the following error information:
../../../../library/methods/libs/methods.so is unchanged dumping R code in package 'methods' Segmentation fault (core dumped) *** Error code 139 Stop in /usr/home/pzhang/R-1.6.2/src/library/methods. *** Error code 1 Whether is there something wrong with my X settings? Thank you for your help.
