Dear R users,
I'm running R version 2.10.1.
I tried installing the Cairo package and I got the
following message:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Configure scripts are notorious for having cryptic error messages, but this one is actually very explicit about stating what the problem is. You need to: 1. Install Cairo and try installing the package again. Or, if you have Cairo installed in a non-standard location that the configure script can't find: 2. Set "-L/path/to/libcairo" in the CAIRO_CFLAGS option and try installing again. In cases when package installation is failing, it is also very important to tell us what operating system you are using as these issues are often platform-dependent. Hope this helps! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Unable-to-install-Cairo-package-tp1598140p1598264.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
