I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, because if it were, then CRAN would have R Linux binary packages. Why isn't it possible? We can create Mac and Windows binary versions of R packages, and these tgz/zip files could be installed on different systems. Why can't we do the same for Linux?
I'm guessing because there are many different distros, and each distro is different. Is it possible to create binary files for Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS?
If it's possible, how do we do it? Thanks.
