Hi, My question is: if I want to recompile and reinstall a newer version of R under linux, must I remove the old binaries previously installed ?
This can happen. The default location of $RHOME has been changed at some point (was /usr/local/share/R, now /usr/local/lib/R), or you may have explicitly set it otherwise. If the location of $RHOME and the startup script is unchanged, then I wouldn't expect problems, but it should do no harm to delete them first in either case - but note that this might kill add-on packages as well.
If yes where are located them?
Where you put them... ;) Seriously: [pd at butterfly R]$ which R /usr/local/bin/R [pd at butterfly R]$ more `!!` more `which R` #!/bin/sh # Shell wrapper for R executable. RHOME=/usr/local/lib/R export RHOME ... If the startup script is gone, consider something like find /usr -name R -prune
