1.0.1 for SuSE 6.3

I tried installing (actually, upgrading) R to 1.0.1 using the binary on CRAN for

SuSE 6.3 and I got the following error:

"unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic";

One possibility is that you FTP'ed it in ASCII mode instead of binary.

I got the same message, and I _definitely_ used BIN.  I gave up and compiled
from source, which worked flawlessly on SuSE 6.3: give it a go!
