Re : R installation for Ubuntu (Karmic)

| I recently had to re-install R on Debian Lenny. I couldn't install the latest version through apt-get. 

Possibly because you missed this site and page:

   http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/
	 
| So i had to compile it manually from the .tar . 

No, you did not have to.

Also, feel free to cut the entire digest before replying to it.

@David :
May be you should add in your mail the file :
/etc/apt/sources.list 
(I suppose there might be a typo, as IT addresses are long and booring, and AFAIK, correcting a typo one made is **very** difficult).

FYI binary installs are (/were)  meant to make users life(s) easier, and are (/should be) therefore easier and faster: on the long term, if you go beyond "it does not work" (which makes very mysterious to find what is missing) , this will (might) come true...

## well, I had the site and page and I had added the
relevant backport but it didn't work and i keep installing R
2.7 . Don't know why; i probably missed something.
