There is some advice on this in the Windows FAQ.  You can see the 
current version online at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best-way-to-upgrade_003f

If you're not using Windows, most of the advice in that FAQ item is 
still good (though the paths & filenames will be different).

Can you just follow the instructions here:

http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu/

And use the apt-get mechanism to install R instead of compiling it yourself?

I'm guessing it'd make your life a bit easier.

I don't use Ubuntu, but that looks as though you don't have the 
development headers for X11 available.

The usual advice I've seen on this is to install an Ubuntu binary rather 
than building yourself, but I don't remember the details of where to get 
it (and I don't remember how to get the X11 headers you need).

Ogbos,

I don't use Ubunto too, but X-11 headers should be installable running 

       apt-get xorg-dev

and/or (possibly)                  

       apt-get  libx11-dev xlibs-dev

Well, it looks like you didn't read far enough in the instructions that you were pointed towards.  Read the section on Secure APT.

Hope this is helpful,

In that cran/ubuntu page, there is a section entitled "SECURE APT"
which talks about doing some gpg key juggling .. did you do that part?

Also -- you might consider posting to the r-sig-debian list:

if things start getting *really* out of control, though I suspect
you're quite close to a solution now ... :-)
