Dear List, I am new to Linux and I just installed Fedora Core 3 (workstation installation) on my PC--software came from a book called Red Hate Linux Fedora 3 Unleashed. Installing R was relatively easy. I ran into a problem, however. After typing "Update.Packages()" I am able to download them, but I then get the following output: /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found /usr/lib/R/bin/Rcmd: line 45: exec: INSTALL: not found After deleting downloaded files, I get: Warning messages: 1: Installation of package KernSmooth had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 2: Installation of package VR had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 3: Installation of package boot had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 4: Installation of package cluster had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 5: Installation of package foreign had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 6: Installation of package lattice had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 7: Installation of package rpart had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 8: Installation of package survival had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, Does anyone know how to resolve this? Am I using the wrong command to update? I just switched from using R in Windows. Thank you for your input. -Tom ************************************ Thomas W.
