[R] Problems with installation on Debian

[Andrew Perrin]

Check your $PATH environment variable - what's happening is the old
version is in an earlier search path than the new one.  In debian, the old
is probably in /usr/bin/R and the new in /usr/local/bin/R since you built
it from source.

Best would probably be to remove the whole thing, which you can probably
do with:

dpkg --remove r-base
