Subject: Re: [R] Downloading R
Downloading should be the easy bit. Just go to cran.r-project.org (or a
mirror) and take the first link under "source code for all platforms".
However, you do need to study the "R Installation and Administration"
manual, especially the platform notes. Solaris is a bit outside the
mainstream these days, and it may take some elbow grease to get the
compilers, libraries, and accessories all lined up properly.
A couple of people on this list and on the r-devel list use Solaris, and
may be able to help, but you need to learn how to provide proper context
for your questions. It is not informative that you have clicked a red link
leading to a green arrow!
