Dear Sir,

I am almost giving up on getting the R-2.9.1 on the ubuntu 9.04 using the 
instructions found on the R site.

I decided to use the R-2.9.1.tar.gz and untarred it.

I then typed ./configure and the results are shown below.
However, on typing make, I got an error, "No targets specified and no makefile found stop" What is the solution?

lmra...@lmramba-dll-d:~$ su
Password: r...@lmramba-dll-d:/home/lmramba# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
r...@lmramba-dll-d:/home/lmramba# cd R/R-2.9.1
r...@lmramba-dll-d:/home/lmramba/R/R-2.9.1# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
loading site script './config.site'
loading build specific script './config.site'
checking for pwd... /bin/pwd

[...]

checking for ICU... no
checking for X... no
configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available


Which tells you that you need the X11 headers and libs installed on your system (that are currently missing).

I have been running R-2.9.1 on Windows without any problem. I decided to run it 
on my Ubuntu 9.04 where i have R-2.8.1 and I have a problem loading the package 
JGR because it cannot load the dependancy rJava. This is a cool editor I would 
wish to use while on Ubuntu.

Here is a copy of the errors i get:

library(JGR)
Loading required package: rJava
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rJava/libs/rJava.so':
  libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'rJava'
Error: package 'rJava' could not be loaded


This means I managed to download the rJava package   
'/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rJava/libs/rJava.so':
  libjvm.so       ... but It cannot be loaded. What do I do?



After solving problem 2, open a terminal and do:

  sudo aptitude -y install r-base-core r-base-dev sun-java6-jdk
  sudo R CMD javareconf
  sudo R

Then, in R, type:

install.packages(c('JGR', 'iplots', 'rJava', JavaGD'),
repos='http://www.vps.fmvz.usp.br/CRAN')
library(JGR)
JGR()
quit(save = 'no')


Problem 2: I have tried in vain to get the newer R version of 2.9.1.   I keep 
on getting the 2.8.1.  I have read the instructions from the R site but I seem 
not to be there. What do I do?

To install R 2.9.1 in Ubuntu go to http://www.r-project.org/
on the left panel, click on CRAN
Choose a mirror
Click on:
  Linux
  linux
  ubuntu

Follow the instructions. You must be able to follow the instructions
because you'll have to disable the repository before upgrading Ubuntu
and, then, will have to update the R's repository.
