From owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Sat Jan 6 14:21:42 2001 I have a recent version of Red Hat(Version 6) Linux (One Year Old). When I tried to invoke the rpm --install I got the following: [root at localhost /root]# rpm --install R-base-1.2.0-3.alpha.rpm only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM error: R-base-1.2.0-3.alpha.rpm cannot be installed
First, try the RPM for i386, not the one for alpha. (Alpha is a different processor, much less common, I think. You didn't say you had it, so probably you don't.) If that doesn't work, try updating rpm, which will be in the "updates" section of www.redhat.com (and its mirrors, and also surely in http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM). You should do this anyway if you haven't done it.
