Hi, I just recently changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit). Now I tried to install some packages required by my old and working scripts. Unfortunately I fail when trying to install the package "xslx". Maybe it is related to the 32bit version of my R (its not possible to install a 64 bit version). Can anyone help me to sucessfully install xslx? Here some console output (e.g. sessionInfo()):> install.packages("xslx")Installing package(s) into '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' (as 'lib' is unspecified) --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package 'xslx' is not available (for R version 2.14.1)> sessionInfo()R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tcltk_2.14.1 tools_2.14.1>Any suggestions? /Johannes
Hi Johannes, As the error message says, install the latest version of R! If you don't want to do it (I don't know why you wouldn't) I think you can also install the package from source if the old version of the package is still somewhere out there.

Hello, I was able to install it for R version 2.15.1, after reconfiguring R to enable the support of Java (R CMD javareconf) and installing rJava. Did you try after upgrading R? Regards.

[R] Installing packages "xslx" on Ubuntu (32bit) [On R 2.14.1]
Hmm, there is no such package: did you mean xlsx? However, your R is old and quite a few packages are not available for it. Please do as the posting guide suggests and update to R 2.15.1 (or R-patched). On 25/07/2012 09:47, Johannes Radinger wrote:> Hi, > > I just recently changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit).
