Hi all,
I hope this is the correct list to post such a question.
I was trying to install the R-project on Debian and encountered significant problems with the same.
The main problem is the installation of the libc6 package. I need this package in order to install the R-core package. However, the libc6 is dependent on the libdb1-compat package, which just refuses to install on my server.
I tried to install it yesterday and it ended up crashing my system and messing up the old Apache. Does anyone have a procedure to install R-project on Debian linux?
The libdb1-compat package version is 2.1.3-7 and the libc6 is 2.3.1-17
Please advise,


one way is to add the following line (for woody as an ex.)
"deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian woody main"
to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" and use apt-get install r-base .. .etc.



TIA
Shashank
