OK,

thanks Ross and Johannes for the info. I tried to install plyr from the link but it fails. I suspect this is because in the description file it requires R >=2.8 and that I have 2.7.something.

Now stupid question probably, how do you update R? I have tried to re-install all R packages (r-base-devm r-base-core, etc) but it does not update R. This question is, as you have guessed, coming from a newbie. I will reinstall Debian soon and R properly!!

thx

 David Biau.

I contacted Hadley Wickhamand James Long who seemed to have been closedto do it butit didn't work (meaning so far I haven't the answer from them). So has anyone any ideasas how to install "plyr" on Debian Lenny. I can't find a source for linux at cran.

I installed reshape 0.7.4 directly from the cran tarball on lenny.  It
had no explicit dependencies, though butler was a suggests.

The file stamps seem to indicate I did that 2009-04-30, though it's
possible I did it earlier and then copied it.
