Revolution R Enterprise

I realized that the Revolution R Enterprise has only a version for Redhat Linux but not Ubuntu. Too bad.

Actually, revolution-r is in the ubuntu multiverse repository:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnu-r/revolution-r

Make sure multiverse is enabled, and:

>sudo apt-get install revolution-r

Thanks. I have already installed the most recent version of R from source (./confiure, make, make install), will the revolution-r in the multiverse repository conflict with my own version of R?

I'm not sure how the revolution-r package will play with a version of R installed locally from source. If you want the latest R, you don't have to compile and install from the sources - you can just add the cran ubuntu mirror to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and install the precompiled binaries direct from cran:
