Well "dpkg -S /etc/X11/rgb.txt" says that this belongs to x11-common. Do you have that package installed? | 2. When installing packages into R >DO NOT< use sudo or you will run into | problems later on - particularly if your R packages automatically install | into /home/myname/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8 R packages Debian / Ubuntu systems have for years defaulted to using /usr/local/lib/R/site-library -- that is still good default choice [and this works via the R_LIBS entry in /etc/R/Renvirin and won't work if you locally compile from R sources]. Sudo works, or you can youself to group adm or staff and then use chmod g+w /usr/local/lib/R and you don't even need sudo. | 3. I read of many problems with OpenJDK so uninstall that and install Sun's | JDK instead (I think rJava may need Sun's JDK). Google around for | instructions - it was safer to remove OpenJDK first. Make sure you get | something reasonable when you do "java -version" and "R CMD javareconf" | | 4. Make sure you install the package rJava to completion - the system will | build it The package r-cran-rjava is now in Debian and should be in Jaunty. Then you shouldn't need to have to fiddle with this. Thanks, Dirk | ***5.
