[R] Problems installing R 2.1.1. from rpm (R-base-2.2.0-1.i586.rpm) on SuSE 10

[Rainer M Krug]

I used the SuSE 10 CDs as installation sources and added afterwards 
OpenSuse sources and extra CDs for Suse 10 and OpenSuse.

By the way, I decided to compile it from source and it worked without 
problems - no errors.

I guess that one of the versions used in the compilation for the rpms is 
not compatible with a newer version.

Thanks for your help,

Rainer
