[R] Installing pre-compiled R in Linux

[Michael Hannon]

It's very likely that there is already an R package for your linux
system, and, if so, you'd probably be well-served to use that one.
You've given us the version of the kernel you're using (not a recent
one, BTW), but what linux distribution are you using?
