Dear All, I am running a Ubuntu 8.04 System and trying to install the Design-package. Hmisc is already installed, all fortran compilers and a Tex-Package are also on board. I searched the net and the help list for analogue threads, but didn't find any. Whenever I run the install.packages("Design")-Command, the following error message shows up in the terminal window: -- ** preparing package for lazy loading Loading required package: Hmisc Error in dyn.load(file, ...) : unable to load shared library '/home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so': /home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so: undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8 Error: package 'Hmisc' could not be loaded Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'Design' ** Removing '/home/dp0377/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.6/Design' -- I think the problem lies in: 'Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so: undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8'. Can somebody tell me what's going wrong here? Thx in advance, Dennis -- Dr. Dennis Proppe Winkelsfelder Str. 25 40477 D?sseldorf

[R] Package Install "Design" fails on Ubuntu 8.04
Not to fix your fundamental problem, but if you don't mind using the next-to-last versions of the packages you can install them quite easily as debian/Ubuntu packages. They are named r-cran-hmisc and r-cran-design. You can use sudo apt-get install ... or the adept package manager etc. Frank Dennis Proppe wrote:> Dear All, > > I am running a Ubuntu 8.04 System and trying to install the > Design-package.
