Need help for R install
Please do not answer directly to the people but answer to the list instead so everybody sees your mail. You can change the target directory using the --prefix= command line parameter of the ./configure script.

Dear Dominik:
Thank you very much for your advice. I have a C compiler, is that enough? I will check the manual you mentioned. The R will be installed into a root directory, and it seems I cannot change the target path of the installation.
Thank you.

Hy,
I don't think there is a committee here but I'll try to help you
nevertheless:
If you don't have root permissions you can still install R in several ways:
1. Build it by yourself. If you have a compiler installed, you can build R from source. See [1] for a manual.
2. Install a virtual machine where you can install your own Linux and have root rights. You can use Virtual Box for this.
I hope this helps!
Dominik

Dear R committee:
I am Renzhi, Ph.D student in computer science in the University of Missouri. I have one question for you. I try to install R in the linux server, but I don't have the root permission, is there any way to install the R locally?
Thank you very much for helping me.
