It looks as if installing R under Ubuntu 8.10 is going to be much more complicated than I thought it was going to be.
I hadn't realized that it would depend on installing so many other packages (about 23, it seems), many of which also have their own dependencies. So I wondered whether all of these are really essential, and whether there is a single package anywhere that includes them all for a one-off download? (As I mentioned before, my home computer is not an internet-connected machine, and I download files for installation to my pen drive at work.) I'm also wondering whether it might be easier simply to copy across my Windows version of R and run it with WINE. Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
