Dear R People: I am working with a Centos 5 machine and would like to install R-3.0.1. However, the only version that shows up "automatically" is R-2.15.2.

I have looked and I don't see much about R version 3 on Centos 5. Thanks, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
