Thx

cataclysmic, yes there is such a package. You can get it from www.debian.org and it's called r-recommended. You could also install the dsl-dpkg.dsl package and run:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install r-recommended
exit

I will try to make a package for this next week. If anyone else wants to try first, that's OK too.

ico2, R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.

< here > is the home page, but you can get the debs from debian. Could you make a package for him to help him out? I can't get to it quickly.

cataclysmic, I tried to make this dsl package, but I failed. The dsl file I made would have to overwrite the ld.so.cache file, which I believe is a no-no. You can still load it from debian, though, because that works fine. Good luck.
