I don't really know, Stefano compiled it, but AFAIK he compiled it on a 
Jaguar machine, so it should be 10.2 target.

The installer shouldn't need a password if you're admin user. The 
password is only needed if you go for root authentication or if the 
user is no admin.

My Jaguar machine's HDD crashed, so ATM I have no Jag machine around 
either.

Still, without the installer log, I don't think we can help Romuald, 
because there's no way of knowing what happens ... and from his last 
post the problem was during the installation and not running R itself.
