Karmic, i.e.,
| deb http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu karmic/
|
| I did NOT use cran2deb.
|
| - Installed (via apt-get) tk-dev and tcl-dev and r-base
|
| - started R as root (but kept a second root terminal open for apt-get etc.)
|
| install.packages("XML") complained of no xml2-config, so installed
| libxml2-dev via apt
| XML then installs in R
Here you could have done
$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-xml
The rest looks good.
| pmml also installs
| rattle "installs", but when started wants RGtk2. I chose to install
| via apt (r-cran-rgtk2)
| rattle then starts in R, but complains it wants cairodevice
| via apt installed r-cran-cairodevice
| Same process got a complaint about colorspace
| via apt installed r-cran-colorspace.
|
| This gave a clean startup.
|
| Should this be in a script to save other folk troubles?
Why not stick it on the R Wiki?
Glad you got it working.

versions

required versions?
| The R error msg "The RGtk2 package did not find libglade installed. Please
install it." is
| really less than informative. Dirk recommends a scalpel rather than a
chainsaw, but I feel
| like I'm using the scalpel to fell a redwood 20' across.
