un-install R 1.6 built from source
Hi I you've build the package with the default --prefix option (/usr/local), you'll get a file called R in /usr/local/bin, a file called R.1 in /usr/local/man/man1 and a directory also called R in /usr/local/lib. Just delete them ! Regards EJ PS: If you rebuild it correctly with the same --prefix you can just overwrite the old version, no problem !

Thanks very much in | advance! I guess if you just reinstall R, it will overwrite the old installation and everything works fine. There is no automatic uninstall procedure if build from source. However, there are different options to do it manually. a) Check the package listing of a rpm. For 1.5.1 you will see something like /usr/bin/R /usr/lib/R/* /usr/share/doc/R-base-1.5.1/* /usr/share/doc/R-* /usr/share/man/man1/R.1.gz remove these files and directories. b) install once more from source, but to a temporary directory (e.g. configure --prefix=/tmp/R). Look what files and directories are created there and delete the corresponding ones in your real directory tree. If you need to make your own build, consider building your own RPM (look www.rpm.org) instead. You may "borrow" the spec-file from the existing src.rpm and modify it, that should be the easiest way. Perhaps it helps.
