Hmisc and Ubuntu (aptitude install)

Matthew,

As per the CRAN Ubuntu README

	http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

install the Ubuntu r-base-dev package to compile R packages from  
sources.
Well there should be a working r-cran-hmisc package.  You simply got a
'404' error indicating that your network access (using http) to the
external Ubuntu mirror was broken.   Fix that, or download the package
by hand.  It may be easier to just install the missing package.

That said, Vincent is of course entirely correct on the need for
r-base-dev.

Hi,

I'm trying to get the Hmisc module on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron install.
I tried getting Hmisc from within R by issuing the standard
'install.packages' command, but it said I needed 'gfortran' to
compile.  I thought I could circumvent this by using 'aptitude' to get
the package 'r-cran-hmisc', but when I got it, the package had
critical missing parts (got 404s).  So, I'll be trying to go back and
download 'gfortran', but can anybody tell me if this aptitude ubuntu
package should be kept up to date and is just currently overlooked?

Thanks,
Matt
