Hi All, Not a new R user, but new to R with Linux, specifically Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 64bit.
I have had success installing common packages using the typical R interface (in Linux), but have had problems installing less common packages like (rgdal) and (RSAGA) that are not loaded with R. I'm wondering if there are any tricks to these libraries that won't install, from reading the errors it looks like I need to add/edit/create some directories? I get this error when I try to install (rgdal) > install.packages() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Warning in install.packages() : argument 'lib' is missing: using '/home/josh/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.7' trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/src/contrib/rgdal_0.5-26.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 4430424 bytes (4.2 Mb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 4.2 Mb * Installing *source* package 'rgdal' ... gdal-config: gdal-config ./configure: line 1311: gdal-config: command not found The gdal-config script distributed with GDAL could not be found.
