[R] Problem with recommended files

[Micah J. Kimbrough]

Hello,
      I just wanted to drop you a note about one of the recommended 
packages. I compiled R-1.4.0 distribution and installed it. I went into 
the R-recommended temp directory that was created by uncommpressing the 
tar file. Than I ran R CMD INSTALL *.tar.gz and it worked fine until it 
got to VR-6.2-13.tar.gz. I got this error: This R is version 1.3.0 
package 'MASS' depends on R 1.4.0. I am a little confused. I can run R 
--version and get version 1.4.0 so I wouldn't think I would get this 
error while running R CMD INSTALL VR-6.2-13.tar.gz. If I remember the 
docs right the recommended packages are not critcal to using R so I will 
go ahead and work with R and not worry to much about it. I hope this 
message helps you though.

Thank You,
Micah J. Kimbrough
