[R] problem installing R in Ubuntu 10.04 -HELP

[Graham Williams]

I have seen this issue reported by others though I don't know what the
root cause is. Others have solved it by removing the .Rdata file
causing the problem (there must be one if it says so). It would
usually, I think, be in the folder where you start R.

Regards,
Graham
