[R-sig-Debian] RE : No IT connection

[denis brion]

R seems in a very non-standard place ('/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-
> gnu-library/2.8'
)
and it is likely to have been installed by compiling from the sources... 

Then, installing packages from the sources is at least as comfortable, (if one has no IT conection, one just has to download the package and everything it depends on from friends/ internet cafés;
 this process has benn made easy for other complex softwares : cygwin offers the opportunity to have a consistent mirror, even from Windows...; so does gentoo - one can download  a consistent list of packages , put them on a USB stick and install them on an isolated PC...).
