[R] install R from RPM

[Nicolas Fauchereau]

Hi everybody !

I'm new to R (used to Matlab ...) and I 'd like 
to use R at home ...  

I've installed it from RPM package (R-base-1.2.1-2.i386.rpm)
on a linux RedHat 7.0, succesfully ....however but I've got 
problems with running the demos, it says : 

"/usr/lib/R/bin/R.bin : error while loading shared libraries
 : /usr/lib/R/bin/R.bin : symbol __sysconf, version GLIBC_2.2
not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference.

and quit R. 

Does anybody have an idea of what it means - what I can do 
to fix it ?, is it annoying only for the demos or for runnning
other R functions as well ? 

another question : I have to deal with large Matrices (usually
1000*600 or more) is R suited for that ?   

thanks in advance 

Nicolas Fauchereau
