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:
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

The line that looks particularly strange is the 'MASS needs <= 2.9.2.

Could that be the problem, please?

Thank you in advance for any help.

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

Hello again.

I did the update and it worked well, except for one thing:  the Rcmdr
doesn't work anymore.

Has that come up before please?

Thank you for all of your help.

Sincerely,
Erin

Not that I know. But what does "doesn't work anymore" mean precisely?

The Rcmdr menu does not appear.

However, I tried an experiment: I downloaded the R-2.10.0.tar.gz file
and installed via ./configure, make, and all was well for Rcmdr.

Thanks,
Erin
