Hi R Users, I am new to running R on a Linux platform (I'm used to Windows) - I'm running R 2.7.0 on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) as sudo (without Emacs). My architecture is Pentium D (x86_64).
I am having problems successsfully configuring the downloaded package 'udunits'. When I execute > install.packages("udunits", lib="/usr/local/lib/R/library") I get the following result: trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/src/contrib/udunits_1.3.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 29985 bytes (29 Kb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 29 Kb * Installing *source* package 'udunits' ... creating cache ./config.cache checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -std=gnu99 -E checking for gcc... gcc -std=gnu99 checking whether the C compiler (gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -g... yes checking for /usr/local/include/udunits.h... no checking for /usr/include/udunits.h... no checking for /home/saleskalab/include/udunits.h... no checking for /usr/local/lib/libudunits.a... no checking for /usr/lib/libudunits.a... no checking for /lib/libudunits.a... no checking for /home/saleskalab/lib/libudunits.a... no *********************************************************************************** *********************************************************************************** NOTE: udunits package not found!
