Hmisc and Ubuntu (aptitude install)
Thank You All, I think all of this may have been due to shared library conflict headaches. At one point, I inadvertently upgraded my Perl install to 5.10, and I think that messed up a lot of my libraries. I have now started with a clean Ubuntu install, and am going to see if I can work my way back up to installing R and making that work. I will recontact the list if this problem persists through this reimaging of my server. Thanks again, Matt

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. Dirk

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?
