R help - Sep 2005 - mvtnorm package

Hi all,
 
I've been trying to install the "mvtnorm" package (in a Linux R
version) without sucess. I write
 
install.packages("mvtnorm",lib="/home/posmae/cnaber",repos="http://cran.uk.r-project.org/")


and the following message arises
 
 
=================================================downloaded 160Kb

warning message:

install.packages("mvtnorm", lib = "/home/posmae/cnaber",
repos = "http://cran.uk.r-project.org/")

 
I don't know what's the problem because I've installed the package
"sn" with sucess
 
Thanks all,
 
Caio

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's the error. 

If you're on Debian, you need libg2c0-dev. But on Debian you may as just
install the existing binary package r-cran-mvtnorm.

If you're not on Debian you need to figure out where to get the complete set
of your libg2c tools from.

Sn may not contain fortran sources.
