Hi, actullay i am try to intsall Rpy2 (a python interface for R) later, for RPy2 requries R 2.7.0 higher but default intsall RPy2 will search the system installed R 2.4.0 so i think to replace the system installed R with my R in my home directory
echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bio/pub/bin:/bio/pub/bin/bin:/bio/pub/bin3:/bio/pub/sw/iprscan:/bio/pub/sw/j2re/bin:/bio/pub/sw/wuBlast/rawWuBlast add my home/bin/R to the PATH? and where to set the R_lib? i guess RPy2 detects the R library files?
