I needed to update R so I could install ggplot. I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I cannot upgrade Ubuntu because I am using a work computer.
I tried upgrading the normal way: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev But this only installed an earlier version. Finally I tried installing from source (./configure, Make install). This worked. However, when I try to install packages, I get this error: Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : internet routines cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/modules//internet.so': /usr/local/lib/R/modules//internet.so: undefined symbol: curl_multi_wait >> ls /usr/local/lib/R/modules/ >> R_X11.so R_de.so internet.so lapack.so Thanks!
