Thanks Ista,
I will try your procedure next Tuesday. This is going pretty slow because I
only work at that machine Tuesday-Thursday.
I will let you know how it goes (lucky you!) by private email as I don't think
there is any use in bothering all of r-help.

Hi Keith,
So the plot thickens. How is it that you have R 3.1.1 but apt-get
install rJava gives you an old version of the package? This may be
potentially difficult to figure out, but you can try some easy things
first. If I were you I would start with
sudo apt-get remove r-base r-devel
sudo apt-
Ista Et Al,
Unfortunately your suggestion to use remove.packages did exactly the reverse of

Sounds to me like a problem outside of R (off topic here). In particular, it

John,
I will look at your solution over the weekend.
I looked into openxlsx but I don't think it handles named ranges which are
useful.
Thanks for your help,

Folks,
I have been trying to get XLConnect to work on my Linux Mint Maya machine.
R works fine but this package doesn't seem to want to build. Here is the
message I get after supposedly building XLConnect and rJava:
