You may want to avoid building in the source directory, though. We don't generally do that when testing, so you may bump into something unexpected. I.e., rather do export REPOS=https://svn.r-project.org/R export RTOP=~ #adjust as necessary cd $RTOP svn co $REPOS/trunk r-devel/R mkdir r-devel/BUILD #--- cd r-devel/R svn up cd ../BUILD ../R/configure make For configure optione, I generally maintain a config.site in the r-devel directory and copy it to BUILD before running configure. Presumably, regular R already exists as a package on Linux Mint. You might want to investigate how R is built from sources, see for instance: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1822 -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
