I installed R from source:
,----
| wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.15.0.tar.gz
| tar -xzf R-2.15.0.tar.gz
| cd R-2.15.0
| ./configure
| make
| make check
| make pdf
| make info
| sudo make install
| sudo make install-info
| sudo make install-pdf
`----
Do I need to do anything additionally to get the vignettes?
Cheers,
Marius
