Dear R People:
I just installed R-2.10.0 on Karmic Koala Ubuntu, via the sudo apt-get
install r-base, etc.
However, when I try to install an Rcmdr Plugin package, I get the following:
install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual",depen=TRUE)
Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'
Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) :
'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
Would you like to create a personal library
'~/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10'
to install packages into? (y/n) y

The line that looks particularly strange is the 'MASS needs <= 2.9.2.
Erin,
the MASS you have installed in one of your current libraries needs R <=
2.9.2 (perhaps in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library ?)
Please run
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
and packages in your library will be updated.
If the one in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library can't be updated, because
you do not have write permissions there, please remove it from the
library path.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Could that be the problem, please?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
Erin
