Hi, 

I tried to install fMultivar package but an error occurs that I could not 
understand. 
(I've been worked with linux / Ubuntu 6.06 LTS) 

This would be quicker: 

$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-fmulitvar 

(if you enabled the Universe repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list). 

install.packages("fMultivar")

It is a FAQ for Debian and Ubuntu -- you "forgot" to install 
r-base-dev which provides a fairly complete development emv. for R on 
Debian / Ubuntu, so do 

$ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev 

Besides, given that there _is_ a source package, you could also use 
its information on Build-Dependencies: 

$ sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-fmultivar

Thanks in advance for any help!
