Re: [R] How to install R 2.5 with Synaptic in Ubuntu?
Hi, I can't get this approach to work. When I first added the repsitory line to /etc/apt/sources.list synaptic complained that it was a malformed line. I fixed this by adding main to end of the entry making it: deb http://my.favorite.cran.mirror/bin/linux/ubuntu feisty main However after this it still complains that it can't find packages.gz It appears to be looking in http://my.favorite.cran.mirror/bin/linux/ubuntu/distsfeisty which isn't the directory structure of the cran repository, but I can see anyway to modify this behaviour. Every other Ubuntu repositoy I have looked at contains the dists directory. Any suggestions for modifying this behaviour are gratefully recieved.

Re: [R] How to install R 2.5 with Synaptic in Ubuntu?
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion and I wish the solution was that obvious, but I have changed it to really point at my favourite mirror. Using your example Synaptic reports the following error when I try to update the repositories: http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found This is understandable since that location doesn't exist, but it makes me think that the directory structure of the R mirrors is not compatible with Ubuntu and Synaptic, since it automatically seeks /dists/feisty/ rather than just /feisty/ as it is on the CRAN mirrors.

Hm. I have Fedora 7 so I cannot really check what my entry would look like. I recently installed Kubuntu on a friends notebook so there the readme from http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html did actually work. I just had a second look at your mail so could it be that there is a missing slash after feisty? If that does not work try another mirror like deb http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/ feisty/ there is also no main stated there in the readme... sorry I copied that from your mail so thats obviously not following the readme... I hope this works now. Stefan -=-=- ... Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. Full effort is full victory.

Re: [R] How to install R 2.5 with Synaptic in Ubuntu?
mike, try installing directly using apt-get instead of Synaptic. in my /etc/apt/sources.list i added the line: deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ dapper/ and then i did: bash$ sudo apt-get install r-base r-doc-info r-doc-pdf r-doc-html r-mathlib r-base-html r-base-latex r-base-dev r-gnome recently to update to R 2.5.1 on my version of Ubuntu (6.06). cheers, thomas.
