You'll find that r-base and some packages are in the standard Mandriva repositories. However, Mandriva tends to fix its packages with its release dates. Mandriva 2008.1 has R 2.6.2 in repositories and the upcoming Mandriva 2009 (currently in release candidate) has 2.7.2 (but only base). If you haven't added all the mandriva repositories then easyurpmi (google for it) will add them for you.
I compile from source, which is relatively easy once you have a build system loaded from Mandriva repositories. The errors and warnings from ./configure tell you what you need. --------------------------------------------------------- Paul Bivand Head of Analysis and Statistics Direct Line: 020 7840 8335 Inclusion has a launched a new website, please visit: www.cesi.org.uk Inclusion 3rd floor, 89 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7TP Tel: 020 7582 7221 Fax: 020 7582 6391 Inclusion website: www.cesi.org.uk Consider the environment - do you really need to print this email?
