I am getting what appears to be an Unbuntu level error in trying to

Both commands:
install.packages("XML:)
install.packages("XML", dependencies = TRUE)
give an error .
The full installation script is below but the problem to my very
inexperenced eye seems to be here:
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for xml2-config... no
Cannot find xml2-config
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?XML?
I seem to have libxml1 version 2.7.8defg.1ubuntu installed if this is
relevent.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Ubuntu 12.04

John,
The Ubuntu package you need to install is "libxml2-dev". Or you could
install "r-cran-xml" from the cran2deb4ubuntu PPA and it will resolve
all the dependencies for you. Details here:

Hope this helps,
