Error in library("Rcompression") :

I still do not know the reason why install.packages() did not work...
But Phil has suggested me to install by using R CMD INSTALL, and it worked
fine.
BTW, I tried to install zlib and libbz2 using make and got the permission
denied error when the script trying to copy file into /usr/local/bin/, which
is owned by "root".
Do we need to use sudo to force the commands to work? How did you manage to
install them?
Thanks,
Stanley
