Per the suggestion of this list when I posted on the r-help list, I have gone to cran, linux downloads and read the read me file to try and install the binary for R 2.15.1 on my ubuntu AMD64 machine. I added to my sources.list the deb http:\\cran.wustl.edu\bin\linux\ubuntu precise main . Then I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install r-base. The system promptly installs R 2.14.1 . I have tried this with 2 different cran mirrors with the same results. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have very little experience with ubuntu or linux although I feel I am being forced to learn quite a bit very quickly, so specific suggestions are more helpful than generic ones. Michael Conklin
Michael, I think the easiest way to get the current R packages is to use the PPA that supplies CRAN. To enable that, at a command line enter sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter That will add the correct information into your apt sources list. More infomration can be found out my Ubuntu and R blog, http://tiny.cc/ubunturblog. Michael
