UUO> Hello- Tired of the crashes I was experiencing with r 1.2.1
    UUO> on Windows ME, I downloaded the r-1.2.1.tgz under my Debian
    UUO> Linux box. I untared, unzipped and then I ./configure and
    UUO> make as specified i the FAQ.  But something went wrong...I
    UUO> had version 0.90 per-installed, as it comes with the normal
    UUO> Debian distribution and now, whenever I run R, the old
    UUO> version is the one that executed.  Can anyone kindly help,
    UUO> please? I'm not very experienced with Linux, so I don't quite
    UUO> know where it went wrong.  Thanks for any help/advice/tip.

    UUO> 	Regards,

Which version of Debian?  Potato?  CRAN has a debian archive
that you can obtain up-to-date R binaries, using apt-get.  I'm
assuming that you are on an Intel platform.
