[R] Installing pre-compiled R in Linux

[Sasikumar Kandhasamy]

Thanks a lot Mike. The Linux distribution we use is "Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Server release 6.2".

Also, couple of clarifications,

1. Do we have a R package compatibility matrix against the Linux kernel
version? Or for the Red Hat Linux with kernel version 2.6.32-279, do you
have any suggestion/recommendation on R package to be used?

2. If we need to use Rscripts in embedded systems such as routers and
switches, do we need to install the complete R package in the  system also?
Or just libR.so and Rscript should be ok?

Thanks again Mike.

Regards
Sasi
