I doubt that you got it from Ubuntu or Debian. I have been maintaining packages for Debian since 1995, and covered R related packages including R itself since the late 1990s. I'd think I'd know. A formal search for the library via packages.debian.org brings up nothing: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr%2Flib%2FR%2Fsite-library%2FRInside%2Flib%2FlibRInside.a&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any Dito via apt-cache search on my Ubuntu (12.10) machine. You may have gotten it from some non-official source, maybe even Michael's PPA --- but you have to understand that that alone makes it NON-STANDARD and I have been trying to explain to you over what must by now be 5 emails that you are better off minimizing variability.
