Subject: How to install older version of R?
In-Reply-To: <1258564372.20829.2.camel@panjc-laptop>
Dear Jia-Chiun Pan,
First of all, why install an older version of R? In my experience the
backward compatibility of R is quite good. So using R 2.10.0 should be
ok. But if you really want this you can build R from source. The source
can be downloaded from CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.7.2.tar.gz
Extract, ./configure, make, make install and you have R 2.7.2 installed
on your system.
cheers,
Paul
