Hi- I'm a complete newbie trying to install R and the 'tree' package on a
linux box. I installed R successfully using an RPM for Redhat 6.2. I
downloaded the tree*.gz file, ran tar, the fired up R. When I'm at the
>prompt in R, and type 'R INSTALL /usr/apps/tree' I get: 'Error: Syntax
error' I want tree to end up in the default directory so I did not specify
any different paths. Is my syntax wrong?  Thanks.
