Not to fix your fundamental problem, but if you don't mind using the next-to-last versions of the packages you can install them quite easily as debian/Ubuntu packages. They are named r-cran-hmisc and r-cran-design. You can use sudo apt-get install ... or the adept package manager etc.

Dear All,

I am running a Ubuntu 8.04 System and trying to install the Design-package. Hmisc is already installed, all fortran compilers and a Tex-Package are also on board. I searched the net and the help list for analogue threads, but didn't find any. Whenever I run the install.packages("Design")-Command, the following error message shows up in the terminal window:

--
** preparing package for lazy loading
Loading required package: Hmisc
Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :
unable to load shared library '/home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so': /home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so: undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8
Error: package 'Hmisc' could not be loaded
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'Design'
** Removing '/home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Design'

I think the problem lies in: 'Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so: undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8'.
Can somebody tell me what's going wrong here?

Thx in advance,
Dennis
