I compiled R-2.14.1 on CentOS and on Kubuntu (64 bit) without any
problem. Since Kubuntu is a Debian based distro, I don't think it's a
Debian problem. However, if R-2.14.0 still works for you but R-2.14.1
does not, that's an indication that it would be the debs you used.

That looks like an OS issue (assuming it's not a problem with the deb).

No surprise there. Everyone will get that message since there is no
datasets function.

There's that X message again.
