[R] problem with installation on Linux (beginners)
Hello, I'm new to the installation R on Linux and I've followed the instructions on the R Installation and Administration Manual and on the FAQs. I also have changed the path at the .bash_profile file but when I try to type R at the shell prompt, it says: Fatal error: R home directory is not defined I've tried many things but all the time it says the same. Any help would be appreciated.

I presume R when executed from its bin directory works fine. Are you actually using bash shell. Try 'echo $SHELL'. If yes, then try 'which R' and see if it pointing to the right path.

I suspect you are somehow trying to run the R binary, bypassing the R shell script, which sets things like R_HOME. $ cd /usr/lib/R $ ./R (R works perfectly normally) $ ./R.bin __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
Re: [R] problem with installation on Linux (beginners)
Please excuse my previous email. I was going to follow up Peter's post showing that if I run the R binary directly I get exactly the error message reported by the original poster. Unfortunately, after I decided that was too trivial to post, as my mouse headed towards the X button to kill the email for some reason the send button was depressed and the email sent. Apologies.
