hi - not sure if this is the right spot to ask for help on this,
probably a basic question...
I am trying to install ggobi on R running on Ubuntu Hardy - I am new to
both Linux & R so the answer may be obvious & I'm just missing it. I
have installed GGobi via synaptic, but trying to install rggobi I get
the following error - there's some path problem but I don't fully
understand the error message:
> > install.packages("rggobi")
> Warning in install.packages("rggobi") :

> '/home/mark/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6'
