Hi again. Thanks for the reply. What controls the version of R that I get? I took a look at the link and it looks like the only thing I have control over is the version of Ubuntu placed in the /etc/apt/source.list file. So does putting quantal in the source.list file force apt-get install r-base r-dev-base to update R to the version of R related to quantal? Martin.

If not, please let me know. Does anyone know if R 2.15 is can be built for Ubuntu 12.04? ( I did attempt a build and it failed to configure due to missing X11 headers/libs. ) I'm trying to install some R packages that are not available for R 2.14, which is the last supported version available under Ubuntu 12.04. I can update Ubuntu to 12.10 where R 2.15 is available, but Ubuntu 12.04 has been designated to have long term support and I'd like to keep it rather than upgrade to a shorter lifespan version. Thanks. Martin. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
