Hello togheter,
I've installed R with this instruction:
http://edtechdev.blogspot.com/2009/03/r-in-ubuntu-intrepid.html

After that I tried to install odfWeave with this:
Then there came this warning:

Warnung in install.packages("odfWeave") :
  Argument 'lib' missing: use
'/home/johannes/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8'

and later this error occours:

ERROR: configuration failed for package 'XML'

and at last there is this information:

Warning in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE,
lib.loc = lib.loc) :
  there is no package called 'XML'
Error: package 'XML' could not be loaded
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'odfWeave'
** Removing '/home/johannes/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8/odfWeave'

Any Ideas, whats the problem here?
My system is Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 32bit
My R system is 2.81

Thanks in advance
Johannes

I've already found the solution myself:

the package "odfWeave" depends on package "XML"
to configure the package "XML" the libxml2-devel package in ubuntu is
needed.

You get that with typing in the console:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-devel
