[R] installing R from RPMs

[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
