Patrick,
Can you give an example of a package that you have tried to install? Or
you using 32 or 64-bit Karmic?
Thanks,
Michael

I'm running R 2.11 on Karmic. I'm having difficulty installing quite a
few packages with the returned error message of "installation of package
"[whatever the packages happens to be]" had non-zero exit status. I know
this message sometimes is caused by incorrect or missing java packages
and the like. I generally don't have issues with the installation of R
or R packages but I don't know where to start on this. I have looked to
ensure that I have fortran and C++ compilers installed. I want to (if I
can) avoid indiscriminately installing packages "until it starts
working". I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this. Could
anyone lend a hand, please?
Thanks,
Patrick
