That is not true --- you get the most recent R version prebuilt for Ubuntu (and other Linux distros) via the CRAN repositories. See the R FAQ about where to get to current Ubuntu etc versions, or read the README yourself at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html which also explains clearly how to import the key so suppress the (harmless) warning which Carol had posted earlier. | On Thu, 2011-08-25 at 15:59 +0200, Rainer M Krug wrote: | > | > | > On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 3:51 PM, carol white <wht_...@yahoo.com> | > wrote: | > Thanks I ran your command but still get the same error message | > when I run ./configure | > | > configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs | > are not available | > | > | > | > If you are installing via apt-get, why do you have to | > run ./configure?

This whole thread should have taken place on the dedicated mailing list 'r-sig-debian' which is there for your questions regarding R use and development on the Debian and Ubuntu platforms.
