Hi Paul, Please keep the list copied so that others might chime in with suggestions. I'm afraid "no success" is too vague to be useful. What did you do, and what errors did you encounter? Best, Ista

Hi Paul, Did you read the installation instructions for Ubuntu at https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ ? Best, Ista On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 12:36 PM, Paul Tremblay <paulhtremblay at gmail.com> wrote:
I needed to update R so I could install ggplot. I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I cannot upgrade Ubuntu because I am using a work computer. I tried upgrading the normal way: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev But this only installed an earlier version. Finally I tried installing from source (./configure, Make install). This worked. However, when I try to install packages, I get this error: Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : internet routines cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/modules//internet.so': /usr/local/lib/R/modules//internet.so: undefined symbol: curl_multi_wait
ls /usr/local/lib/R/modules/ R_X11.so R_de.so internet.so lapack.so
Thanks!
