Dirk, Please let me know when you will support nightly builds of R-devel with all R and BioConductor packages. I would also need your help syncing my home setup with the one that I use on a remote Linux cluster using RHEL 5. For my needs, the packages on these two setups need to be exactly the same. I would also need your help being able to load either the current release of R and the current R-devel with 2 different site-libraries.
If you are set up to help with this, let me know and I'll get started. Lastly, do you think non-Debian Linux users would NOT benefit to the answers to my question? It does seem that the problem was my lack of understanding of the need for the xlm2-dev libraries, not a Debian specific issue. Or do you believe that if I were using another distribution this problem would not have occurred? I don't think so, but if you believe that to be the case, it would be of interest. Ready to get started when you are, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------ Mark W.
