Hi R People: I currently have a version on R on a Debian squeeze Linux machine, which I obtained via "apt-get instal...."
Now I would like to have a second installation of R (for a small experiment) that I compile myself from the tar file. I'm going to delete it as soon as the experiment fails, which I think it will. But anyway, I'm trying to compile this from scratch. The R-2.14.2 direction is in /home/erin/ I want all of the R directories to go to /home/build1, so they don't interfere with the "real" R. I think I want to do the following: cd /home/build1 /home/erin/R-2.14.2/configure --prefix=/home/build1 make and let it rip. Is this the right thing to do or am I leaving out something, please? I feel like I'm leaving something out.
