LaTex? Maybe if there are *two* of us, the gang at TeXmacs will fix
their R embedded session bug! :)

Seriously, though, TeXmacs supposedly will start an R session and
incorporate it into the document you're working on. However, this
doesn't work for R 2.0.0 or later; the R people changed the way they
handle packages/libraries and TeXmacs didn't change their code to work
with it. Time for me to bug (pun intended) the TeXmacs R person again.

And ... I'm testing R 2.1.1 under Gentoo (and Fedora :(( ) even as we
speak. Believe it or not, it compiled and passed "make check-all" on
FC4-test3 using gcc 4.0.0. R 2.1.1 is due out 20 June and they're down
to the corner cases -- Solaris, etc. -- in their testing. The easy stuff
(x86) is probably fine. You might want to join the Rd mailing list if
you're associated with x86-64; 64-bit R is still quite active, I think.
