[R] Debian & R

[v.demartino2@virgilio.it]

I use linux debian testing for which the latest debianized version of R
is 1.8.1. Therefore I installed:

 r-base-core_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb 
 r-base-dev_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb   
 r-base-html_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb  
 r-base-latex_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb
 r-base_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb      
 r-doc-html_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb  
 r-doc-info_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb  
 r-doc-pdf_1.8.1-0.cran.1_all.deb   
 r-gnome_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb    
 r-mathlib_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb  
 r-recommended_1.8.1-0.cran.1_i386.deb 

Being impatient of moving to R v. 1.9.0 I would like to install and compile
R from the source code in the *.tgz file from CRAN.

My question is:

In so doing will  anything be missing with respect to the deb packages I've
mentioned?
(e.g. r-gnome? r-mathlab?)

 Ciao
