I don't know what a "binary package" or "install from the sources" means. At
any rate I think I have found a simpler solution to my problem.
I read the following in the rggobi package readme file:
Packages
Cubist, OSACC, RSvgDevice, RSVGTipsDevice, SNPassoc, SNPRelate, eco,
gcmrec, gdsfmt, magnets, mht, rggobi, survrec
are only available for 32-bit installations and R < 2.15.0.
So I downgraded my version of R to 2.14 and it appears to work fine now. I
don't know why such a simple key fact is buried in the middle of a text
file, or not advertised more readily, but maybe this will help someone else.
