Thanks to Peter Dalgaard , I have made some decent progress as far as
getting R to work in linux .  I just want to set my environment variable
R_LIBS to /u/etlfs/dev/users/leedsmar/R/library ( in linux ) so that I
can install specific packages.  Does anyone know the syntax and in which
file I set this variable ( .Rprofile etc ). 
I've looked in the installation manual ( i'm mainly on pg 14 ) but I
can't find the answers to these 2 questions. thanks.
