[R] R binaries for UMBUTU Linux?
Has anyone out there compiled R for the Umbutu Linux* (neé Debian) v. 5.04 distribution for Intel-type platforms (32 and 64 bit) ?

If you run the package manager (synaptic) and set up your repository settings to include 'universe' then you should see a bunch of R-related stuff in the 'Mathematics (universe)' section, for R 2.0.1. You should then be only a few clicks away from an R install. If you need any help setting up the Ubuntu package manager in this way, best to ask on an Ubuntu discussion list.

Thank you, Derek Eder Er, U*bun*tu, you mean? I believe you just use the standard Debian packages and tools like apt-get to install them.

Thank you, Derek Eder * Umbutu, a popular new Linux distribution, not a Nigerian scam, I promise!http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ Well, if you mean Ubuntu (and Debian is still there: she's not married to Ubuntu but kept her name), I have some experience (though not on Intel -- later about that). First, it seems that R is not in standard Ubuntu base, but you can find it in the universe, and install as a binary. However, the rhythms are a bit off. Previous Ubuntu release was about simultaneously with the R-2.0.x release, and you got R-1.9.1 in Ubuntu. The current release of Ubuntu was last week, and R is up to next week. This means that you're lagging behind by one cycle in R with these predictable and regular release cycles. However, Ubuntu is a Linux which means that you can compile R from the sources quite easily. I did this with Ubuntu 4.04, and compilation went smoothly (like usually). However, I did this in ppc (32bit, or G4), and some tests failed (at least in 'foreign': I haven't studied this in more detail). The base R seems to work OK, though. Alternatively, you can use real Debian packages from its testing repository. Ubuntu does not recommend using native Debian packages, but I guess with R you can do this fairly safely (the general problem is a potential conflict in version naming which may lead to conflicts in upgrades, but I think this is OK with R). So you may get the latest Debian (testing) packages -- as soon as they get through the jungle of dependencies and appear in Debian. cheers, jari oksanen -- Jari Oksanen -- Dept Biology, Univ Oulu, 90014 Oulu, Finland __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

Yes, I think we can reject the null hypothesis of Dirk can type at all convential significance levels.
