Dear R People:
I just installed R-2.10.0 on Karmic Koala Ubuntu, via the sudo apt-get
install r-base, etc.
However, when I try to install an Rcmdr Plugin package, I get the
following:
install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual",depen=TRUE)
Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) :
?argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'
Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) :
?'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
Would you like to create a personal library
'~/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10'
to install packages into? ?(y/n) y

Warning message:
In install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) :
?installation of package 'RcmdrPlugin.qual' had non-zero exit status
The line that looks particularly strange is the 'MASS needs <= 2.9.2.
Erin,
the MASS you have installed in one of your current libraries needs R <=
2.9.2 (perhaps in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library ?)
Please run
?update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
and packages in your library will be updated.
If the one in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library can't be updated, because you do
not have write permissions there, please remove it from the library path.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Could that be the problem, please?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
Erin
