I've found the version of R in the Ubuntu repository is almost always out of date. Here is the process I follow: 4) Start R from the command line as root so I can install packages system-wide: sudo R
As an alternative, if you set the permissions on /usr/local/lib/R/site-library to allow universal write access, you can call install.packages() from R without having root privileges: sudo chmod o+w /usr/local/lib/R/site-library
Is that a safe / secure? BTW what are the permissions on /usr/local/lib/R? Mine's already set to 755 for the "user"!!! I though it used to be owned by root!
