Re: [R] How to install older version of R?

[潘家群]

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your response.  I am investigating a differentially expressed
gene detected method that cannot be applied on R 2.9.1 that currently I
used. The reason about why it cannot work due to the changes of new version
of R. And, recently, I study a lots of methods that developed by some
statisticians, they kindly provided me source code, but some of codes only
implements on the older version of R or packages. I have met many cases of
this situation. That's why I am trying to get an older version.

Dear Jia-Chiun Pan,

First of all, why install an older version of R? In my experience the 
backward compatibility of R is quite good. So using R 2.10.0 should be 
ok. But if you really want this you can build R from source. The source 
can be downloaded from CRAN:


http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.7.2.tar.gz

Extract, ./configure, make, make install and you have R 2.7.2 installed 
on your system.


cheers,
Paul

Go to your CRAN mirror.  Click on the 'R Sources' link where you will
find a link to older versions.  You can download the R-2.7.1.tar.gz
file from there.  Unpack the file and read the file named INSTALL.
It's short and very clearly explains how to install from source.

If it doesn't work immediately as described there, it probably means
you need to install some extra debs that have something like 'devel'
in its/their name/s.

It really is very easy to install from source.  Even I can do it.
