Hello all,

i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I have R 2.14.1

When i try to install the rtiff package I got this error:

    > install.packages("rtiff")

    Warning message:

But I have libtiff install... I search a lot on the web and try all  
solution but nothing solve my problem.

I suppose that i did not install libtiff correctly, I tried a lot of  
things... but nothing work.

I need a detailed procedure to install libtiff and install the rtiff package.

Let me know if you have a solution or if you had a similar problem.

Thank you
Joel

You need both the Ubuntu libtiff and the libtiff-dev packages before
you can install rtiff.

You can use the Ubuntu package manager to install it just as you'd add
any other linux package.
