[R] SOLVED Re: Update R 2.1.1-1 -> 2.2.1 on UBUNTU

This line "worked", after having typed
apt-get update
in a terminal. "worked" means that synaptic didn't crash. But I still
wasn't able to download the newest version of R.

I've done it in a "coarse" way : I've downloaded the .tar file. I had to
download  ' x-dev ' and  ' xlibs-dev ' from synaptic as well, otherwise
there was a problem with X when doing ./configure.

I've then done ./configure ; make  ; make install.
It now works (still some pbs with pdf, but doen't seem too important)

Anyway, thanks for your help.
