Try installing into a clean directory. That is, remove the contents of /home/jgenty/R-1.9.0 before installing. Also you may want to check that you have used a delete option in your rsync update of your sources. Many directories have been moved recently and having vestigial copies of some files can be problematic. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
