Hello!, this is my first post, I am a beginner user of ubuntu linux.
I have a problem installing packages from CRAN repositories, I mean using
the command install.packages().
I followed the instructions from this site
http://cran.r-project.org/index.html.
I know that I need the ubuntu package r-base-dev to install packages with
that command.
I run in a terminal the following commands:
sudo R
install.packages("faraway")

dumped)Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘faraway’ had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpjJbENN/downloaded_packages’
As I said i am very new to linux and I don't know what I'm missing.
I hope you can help me.
Note: I've installed the ubuntu package build-essential.
I am able to install the "faraway" package without issue on my Ubuntu
box, so this will be difficult to diagnosis. My first suggestion would
be to remove r-base and then reinstall it. Also, try running R as root
to install packages: "sudo R".
What versions of R and Ubuntu are you running? That may help determine
the problem.
