I don't use Debian myself, but have you tried simply clicking the OK button in the dialog box for installing the missing packages? Perhaps you've done that and are then asked where to install the packages, but if so that's unclear from your message. More generally, it would help to have more detail about what you did. A bit of background: There are two package systems, one for Debian, which includes R, the Rcmdr package, and some other R packages (such as the car package) used by the R Commander, and the CRAN R package archive. Most of the R packages that the Rcmdr uses reside in the latter archive. If these are missing, the R Commander detects that and asks your permission to install them. As I said, simply clicking OK should work (as far as I know). I'm cc'ing Dirk Eddelbuettel, who takes care of the R Debian packages. I hope this helps, John ----------------------------------------------- John Fox, Professor McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/ > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting- > guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
