Dear list,
I'm forwarding these 2 messages as suggested by the package
developer.
My system is
sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
i486-pc-linux-gnu
on Ubuntu 8.04, with r-base-core, r-base-dev and r-recommended
installed from binaries through Synaptic. I normally install the rest
of packages using install.packages() from within R (started
from an xterminal by su)

Dear Martin,
I'm trying to install packages robustbase and mvoutlier on ubuntu 8.04
but get the following problem:
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -o robustbase.so R-rng4ftn.o init.o lmrob.o mc.o qn_sn.o rf-common.o rffastmcd.o rfltsreg.o wgt_himed.o -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lRlapack -lblas -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2 -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2 -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lRlapack
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Nevertheless, I do have Rlapack:
~$ R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS
-L/usr/lib/R/lib -lRlapack

Martin,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
1.I've used
install.packages("robustbase")
I've verified
~$ R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS
-L/usr/lib/R/lib -lRlapack
Then I've seen that I actually do not have Rlapack:
# ls -l /usr/lib/R/modules
total 596
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44912 2009-04-17 18:44 internet.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30980 2009-04-17 18:44 lapack.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136812 2009-04-17 18:44 R_X11.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 383056 2009-04-17 18:44 vfonts.so
Which seems in contradiction with the R CMD command.
Then I've done:
cd /usr/lib/R/modules
sudo ln -sf ./lapack.so ./libRlapack.so
But this does not solve the problem
2. I've seen that there's a binary in Synaptic, I've installed it,
seems ok, but then I get:
require(robustbase)
Loading required package: robustbase
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

'/usr/lib/R/site-library/robustbase/libs/robustbase.so':

unless I actually start R from within /usr/lib/R/modules, in which case
it works but cannot install mvoutlier (my ultimate goal) anyway:
install.packages("mvoutlier")
