Hi Everyone,
I am currently using *R version 3.0.0 RC (2013-03-28 r62434) -- "Masked
Marvel"*

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS- the Lucid Lynx.

I downloaded the  tar.gz of R 3.1.0 under my Downloads folder.
I changed my directory to Downloads folder and then used following commands
to install the version.

I used
tar -xzf tar.gz
cd R-3.1.0
./configure
make
make check

Now i can see a bin folder under R-3.1.0 which has R.
On the terminal when I use R it still gives me

How can I use R 3.1.0 version.
I also want to use that version on R studio.

I guess it is just the path issue?
Any help

Regards
VG

Why?  3.1.1 is current.
But you did not install it ... see the 'R Installation and 
Administration Manual' which file INSTALL directed you to.  You are 
missing some variant on 'make install'.

Currently you've compiled and verified compilation.  You need to
install it.  
Go to the R-3.10 directory, the one you compile from and run
sudo make install
