package install error in CentOS
solved:
There was indeed a problem with exec rights in the /tmp dir as they were set
by my VPS host. I fixed it by creating a dir 'tempdir' in my homedir, and
giving it 777 rights. Then set the environment variable TMPDIR in R:
Sys.setenv(TMPDIR="/home/jeroen/tempdir");
install.packages("Cairo");
thank you :)

Check that your data partitions have the 'exec' flag set in /etc/fstab, particulary the /tmp partition: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1687&forum=31 Jeff Jeroen Ooms wrote:
