It is unexpected. Is it new in 2.0.1 beta? You have told us your kernel,
not your distro. This looks like a bug, but not in R.
The distro was Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon) Kernel 2.4.21-4.ELsmp on an i686
It also happens in
SuSE SLES 8 (powered by UnitedLinux 1.0) (i586)\nKernel 2.4.19-64GB-SMP (6).
It is not new, it also happened in 2.0.0
Also, I think "R CMD config --version" still has a bug, or a least it does not report what I would expect:
...
It's what it is documented to do:Ok, it could be clearer (at least to me) that this means version of the script.
...
-v, --version print version info and exit
If you want the R version, that is 'R --version'.I've been using this, but to make it into a file name I need to do some stripping out of the extra stuff. (And tail and head on Solaris do not use -n whereas Linux wants this, so it becomes difficult to be portable.) Is there a way to get just "R-2.0.1" from R or R CMD something?
Thanks, Paul
