I have had the same problem by trying to install R.1.3.1. I m not specialist so my

answer will be perhaps not clear or stupid. I think that you must copy the R
script
in the directory as /usr/local/bin/R and it must be "world readable" (chmod u, g
and o +r)
and executable(+x). If it's impossible for you to copy the script you have not
probably
the authorization (so see you "root").
The other solution is to type  all directory path which contains /.R  (I think
that is /usr/bin/.R for you)
the thing before ./R must be all the path where is the script (/usr/bin).

Bye good luck.
