R 1.0.0 for SuSE Linux

[Albrecht Gebhardt]

New RPM packages for SuSE Linux are available now at 

  ftp://ftp-stat.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/6.3/RPMS/i386/

and should soon arrive at 

  ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/6.3/RPMS/i386/

They are built on SuSE 6.3, but run also on SuSE 6.2. 

RPMs for SuSE 5.3 and 6.{0,1} will drop in later this or next week and
replace the 0.9x.x versions.

NOTE:
-----

I changed the installation prefix from /usr/local to /usr, so you cannot
mix older contrib RPMs with the new base RPM without explicitly
modifying the R_LIBS variable! 

The ESS package (currently only a xemacs version) will only run on SuSE
6.3, please use the older one (under the suse/6.2 tree) for 6.2. 

Note for ESS on SuSE 6.3: 
------------------------ 
Do not forget to check that your /dev/pty* devices are world
read-writeable !! If necessary execute "chmod o+rw /dev/pty*" or ESS will
not work. Of course this may affect your security. See also
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ke_devpts-63.html for notes on this topic.

The ess-xemacs package creates a new file /etc/profile.d/xemacs-site.sh
which sets EMACSLOADPATH=/usr/share/xemacs/site-packages, where it also
creates site-start.el with a reference to ESS's start files. I don't
know if this interferes with GNU emacs installations.
