Christian,
There is a space (' ') between the '-' and the 'l', which will be parsed
as two separate arguments. Hence the initial WARNING messages.
You need to use:
R CMD INSTALL -l /usr/lib/R/library repeated
Also note that you need to have 'root' privileges in order to install
the packages into the /usr/lib/R tree. Thus, you should 'su' to root
before running the command.
You should verify that your R tree is in /usr/lib, as the default is
/usr/local/lib, for which you would not require the '-l
/usr/lib/R/library' argument.
Presumably Windows worked fine because you typically do not require
administrator privileges to install the package locally on Windows or
your account has administrative privileges, which is typical (and bad)
on Windows NT/XP.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
