[R] Help with R in ubuntu (more organized 2)
Dear R users: Maybe it is a silly question, but I'm don't understand what am I doing wrong. In a new karmik koala ubuntu installation I compile the last patched 2.10.1 version of R. Every thing was right (I install all the dev libraries I need). First I type: ./configure --enable-R-shlib And I obtain: R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 Fortran 77 compiler: gfortran -g -O2 C++ compiler: g++ -g -O2 Fortran 90/95 compiler: gfortran -g -O2 Obj-C compiler: gcc -g -O2 Interfaces supported: X11, tcltk External libraries: readline, ICU Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, NLS, cairo Options enabled: shared R library, shared BLAS, R profiling, Java Recommended packages: yes Then I type "make", following with: sudo make install. Then when I try to call R it shows me this message: Fatal error: unable to open the base package But if I work as superuser, like "sudo R", everything works fine. I understand that it is a privileges issue, but where and how can I fix the problem? Thank you for your help. Sorry for the newbee question.
