Hello anyone,
I'm trying to install R on Mandriva 2006 distribution via rpm file with the

This is an older rpm that Michele Alzeta contributed for Mandrake 10.0

Unless you have a typo, this is also an older version of R. Get the newer
sources and recompile. I don't know if Michele is still active in
maintaining R for Mandrake. But he has a site for R and Mandrake in
italian and this may provide some first clues.
HTH,
