Dear R People: I am working with a Centos 5 machine and would like to install R-3.0.1.
However, the only version that shows up "automatically" is R-2.15.2. I have tried the following: root@erinminfo [~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm --2013-06-17 06:20:30-- http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm Resolving dl.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.181.26, 209.132.181.27, 209.132.181.23, ...

Would I be better off compiling from source, please? I have looked and I don't see much about R version 3 on Centos 5.
