Dear Helpers, I am new in Linux and R, trying to update packages I need in my work, but repeatedly I failed for reasons I do not understand. First, I use: > update.packages() Then, I choose nearest mirror and accept update of 'Design' package: > Design : > Version 2.0-9 installed in /usr/lib/R/site-library > Version 2.0-12 available at http://cran.r-mirror.de > Update (y/N/c)? y Finally, after successful download, installation starts and fails: > trying URL 'http://cran.r-mirror.de/src/contrib/Design_2.0-12.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 329401 bytes > opened URL > ================================================== > downloaded 321Kb > > * Installing *source* package 'Design' ... > ** libs > g77 -fPIC -g -O2 -c lrmfit.f -o lrmfit.o > g77 -fPIC -g -O2 -c mlmats.f -o mlmats.o > g77 -fPIC -g -O2 -c robcovf.f -o robcovf.o > gcc -shared -o Design.so lrmfit.o mlmats.o robcovf.o -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR > /usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make: *** [Design.so] Error 1 > ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Design' > ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/site-library/Design' > ** Restoring previous '/usr/lib/R/site-library/Design' > > The downloaded packages are in > /tmp/RtmphbLWxZ/downloaded_packages > Warning message: > installation of package 'Design' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl,
I am using following R under Ubuntu - Linux: platform = "i386-pc-linux-gnu" arch = "i386" os = "linux-gnu" system = "i386, linux-gnu" major = "2" minor = "2.1" year = "2005" month = "12" day = "20" "svn rev" = "36812" language = "R" I would be really thankful if anyone could give me explanation of what I am doing wrong and how can I make update.
