I'm not sure if this question is more appropriate here or in the Ubuntu forums, but I'm willing to try anything at this point. This morning I upgraded to 2.7.2 via the Ubuntu package repository, and now when I go to run R via the command line it fails to start, giving the following error: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/home/jstumpf/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.7/kernlab/libs/kernlab.so': libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?
Hmm, Kernlab is not a recommended package in R, so I suspect R is loading a previously saved workspace that contains an object or environment that requires kernlab and that has gotten broken since you updated. Does entering the following at the console start R: R --vanilla If so, at least you can get R working. Even if this works, follow Tyler's advice and ask on the debian SIG for R as I suspect you'll want to solve the kernlab issue. HTH G
