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?
                           Kirk Bryan

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...
