Subject: how can I install the latest version of r in linux?
To: r-help@r-project.org


HI R-users
  I downloaded the latest version of R with the name R-latest.tar.gz from
the website
 But when I tar the package and configure the package,
 some error message showed that
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not
available

and  I run make command:
error message says;
user@gateway R-2.13.2]$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

and when I download the RPM package for redhat, there are still some errors
rpm -ivh R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386.rpm
warning: R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key
ID 97d3544e
error: Failed dependencies:
libXmu.so.6 is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
libgfortran.so.1 is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
libtcl8.4.so is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
libtk8.4.so is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
perl(File::Copy::Recursive) is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
tetex-latex is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
xdg-utils is needed by R-core-2.10.0-2.el5.i386
How could I install the R package or is there any binary version of R so
that I can tar the
 compressed package and use R directly?
 thank you .
