[Fwd: Re: ubuntu problem with 'r-cran-robustbase' [FWD Agustin Lobo]]
Martin,
Just uninstalled r-base-core ("complete removal" in Synaptic, which
means that configuration files are removed also).
After that,
dpkg --get-selections | grep r-base
was giving no output
and
dpkg --get-selections | grep r-cran
r-cran-abind deinstall
r-cran-effects deinstall
r-cran-relimp deinstall
So I removed these 3 with apt-get -remove
Then I installed with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install r-base
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
sudo apt-get install robustbase
No error messages. But I started R and got the same error:
> require(robustbase)
Loading required package: robustbase
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared library
'/usr/lib/R/site-library/robustbase/libs/robustbase.so':
libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What else can be done if everything was removed and installed back again?
Is there any reason to think that installing R from sources is going to
solve the problem?
Thanks
Agus

I'm going to uninstall and install back r-base from Synaptic. If I keep having the same problem afterwards, do you expect that installing everything from sources could solve the problem? Will it be hard ? How much time should I pre-allocate? Thanks Agus Michael Rutter wrote:
Agus, robustbase just installed fine on my stock 8.04 system. Please make sure that you have added all the repositories and packages suggested on this page: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ Backports are important, and make sure you have r-base-dev installed. You may also need to be root (via sudo) to install, although there are instructions for local installation. You can run the following commands to see what R related packages you have installed. dpkg --get-selections | grep r-base dpkg --get-selections | grep r-cran Michael
