hi,

if you're just asking about how to use these two versions of R, what i
do in my ubuntu box is to have them living in separate directories
within /opt, i.e., (note that i haven't updated yet to the latest
release of R -shame on me-):

$ ls /opt/R
drwxr-xr-x 13 rcastelo fg 4.0K Feb 25 14:56 R-2.10.1
drwxr-xr-x 13 rcastelo fg 4.0K Feb 26 09:50 R-devel
lrwxrwxrwx  1 rcastelo fg   17 Feb 26 09:50 devel -> ./R-devel/lib64/R
lrwxrwxrwx  1 rcastelo fg   18 Feb 25 14:56 release
-> ./R-2.10.1/lib64/R

so that when i want to execute release i do

$ /opt/R/release/bin/R

and when i want to execute devel i do

$ /opt/R/devel/bin/R

although in fact i have a ~/bin directory with symbolic links R and
Rdevel to these executables, respectively.

hope it helps,

robert.
