Hi guys, Nixpkgs has now really nice support for R: we know all 5000+ packages currently registered on CRAN. Not all of those packages compile yet, because unfortunately CRAN doesn't tell us the system-level dependencies of those packages -- that information needs to be filled in manually as we go along. You can get an overview over what's working and what's not from:
http://hydra.cryp.to/jobset/nixpkgs/r-packages If you want to use R, just configure your preferred set of modules in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix like so { packageOverrides = pkgs: { rWrapper = pkgs.rWrapper.override { packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ Defaults data_table ]; }; }; } and run "nix-env -i R". If you don't configure anything, the default R interpreter corresponds to R 3.1.0 including the "recommended modules".
