On the main site I have only found
R-2.11.1.tar.gz<http://cran.gis-lab.info/src/base/R-2/R-2.11.1.tar.gz>to
be the latest release (the latest stable release as far as I
understand
it). But unfortunately it doesn't pass the `make check` on my system (that
is probably the reason why the `emerge` command keeps telling me that my R
version is up-to-date). May be I should post a separate message  about this
fact, but I am guessing I shouldn't because making a new release suitable
for all OS's is probably just a matter of time.
But before I write to the package maintainer directly could you please tell
if there might be a non-package-specific reason for a segfault in my case ?

Sincerely yours,
Yuliya Matveyeva.
