Hello,

I am a new R user not at ease with installing and updating R package under Ubuntu (Hardy), so that I cannot run R anymore ...! I initially installed r version 2.6.2.2 (amd64) from Intrepid instead of Hardy (!), but it worked. I tried to update to version 2.9, but did not succeeded:
   (1) I added to my /etc/apt/sources.list an entry :
          deb http://cran-fr.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy

  and run the sudo apt-get update + install
  => but when I started R again it was always my version 2.6..2.2 
 
   (2) I loaded  R-2.9.1.tar.gz ; gunzip+tar 
      ./configure
      make   => error messages following:

-------

If I try to run R, I now get the following message:

$ R
/usr/local/bin/R: line 230: /usr/local/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: Permission denied
/usr/local/bin/R: line 230: exec: /usr/local/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: cannot execute: Success

Can anyone explain me how to simply desinstall all and reinstall it all?

Thank you in advance for your help

Christine
