@David : May be you should add in your mail the file : /etc/apt/sources.list (I suppose there might be a typo, as IT addresses are long and booring, and AFAIK, correcting a typo one made is **very** difficult).
FYI binary installs are (/were) meant to make users life(s) easier, and are (/should be) therefore easier and faster: on the long term, if you go beyond "it does not work" (which makes very mysterious to find what is missing) , this will (might) come true... --- En date de : Ven 16.4.10, Biau David <djmb...@yahoo.fr> a écrit : > De: Biau David <djmb...@yahoo.fr> > Objet: [R-sig-Debian] Re : Re : R installation for Ubuntu (Karmic) > À: "Dirk Eddelbuettel" <e...@debian.org> > Cc: "R-debian" <r-sig-debian@r-project.org> > Date: Vendredi 16 avril 2010, 2h27 > > > > > | I recently had to re-install R on Debian Lenny.
