Full_Name: Thomas R Famula
Version: 2.2.1
OS: Linux - fedora core 4
Submission from: (NULL) (169.237.28.28)


Sorry to bother - I hope this is a simple fix.
Here is the set of error messages I recieved in trying to install the
"gmodels"
package. I typed in "install.packages(c("gmodels"))" as the
root and recieved
the following series of replies:



install.packages(c("gmodels"))
