Dear Help:
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
What to do?

1. Make sure you're using the correct package for your machine (are you really using a DEC/Compaq Alpha? Not a i386 PC?) 2. Upgrade RPM (I think there's a version 4 of the file format... ugh) 3. If all else fails, compile it yourself...
