Timothy, The link from stackoverflow gave some bad advice, IMO. You should be using the RRutter PPA, not RDev. RDev is the where I build not-ready-for-prime-time versions of R, and sometimes they break other things. RRutter is what is used to seed CRAN. Here is the link: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter I would remove the RDev PPA and install RRutter. The newest

Hi, I am unable to install the R package XML using R 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64-bit). After the installation failed using install.packages, I followed previous directions for installing R packages on Ubuntu (R-SIG-Debian<http://grokbase.com/t/r/r-sig-debian/127nwwez27/package-xml-does-not-load-in-r-2-15-1>,

I have been a little quiet on the update front for the past few months, so I thought I would give a quick update as 2014 begins. Between increased responsibilities at work (pseudo-department chair) and some family health issues, work on [cran2deb4ubuntu](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u) (c2d4u) slowed a bit in the last half of 2013. Here is the current state of

Corrected packages are now on the RRutter PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter) and soon on CRAN mirrors. If you have any issues or questions, please let me know.

This is a post I just added to my Ubuntu R Blog (http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html). As you may (or may not) be aware of, R 3.0.0 is [scheduled to be released](http://www.r-project.org/) on April 3rd. Since this is a major release and there may be some growing pains (but I hope not) in the move 3.0.0, here is some information

Current R packages are also available from the following locations: The CRAN repository http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ My Launchpad PPA (feeds CRAN, has a few more packages) https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter cran2deb4ubuntu (over 1000 packages found in CRAN Taskviews, not

Hi I am facing an issue with the package selectr, where I get an error trying to run an example code: css_to_xpath(".testclass"), gives could not find function "xpath_class" The issue arises however only with the package installed with apt-get, not when installed from within R. I got a similar issue with maptools, where I was not able to use data(wrld_map), and switching to

I am getting what appears to be an Unbuntu level error in trying to install the XML package. Both commands: install.packages("XML:) install.packages("XML", dependencies = TRUE) give an error . The full installation script is below but the problem to my very inexperenced eye seems to be here: checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for xml2-config... no Cannot

Hi I tried to use Michael's ppa after having installed Ubuntu 20.04 and R 4, and it seems the ppa is not available now for 20.04, I get message: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u3.5/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file Am I doing something wrong, or is it correct that it is not available yet? Are there any plans to implement it at some point?

Hello everyone, I've spent the last 2 days trying to install base R on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine. I even just wiped my entire computer and reinstalled the operating system thinking that was the problem (since some people have problems updating R). So far I've tried to follow this link exactly that has instructions: http://mirror.las.iastate.edu/CRAN/ Since I just reinstalled Ubuntu I

May I request that Dirk's package for jags be added to the CRAN archives for Debian and Ubuntu? Installing the rjags package for R requires specific versions of jags to be present on the system. The current version of rjags requires jags version 2.2.0 or later but the version on the Ubuntu archives at Canonical (i.e. not the CRAN archives) is 2.1.0-2 I can always install Dirk's package

New .deb packages for R 3.0.0 on Raring Ringtail (13.04) are available on both [CRAN](http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/) and my [Launchpad PPA](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter). Some notes for this release. - The initial build for Raring Ringtail did not come with Tcl/Tk being supported. This issue has been addressed and the current release supports Tcl/Tk. -

Ubuntu users, If you would like to beta test R 2.13.0 before the official release date on Ubuntu (any current release), you can add my Launchpad PPA with: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter More information can be found at the PPA site itself: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter The beta of R 2.13 is also available at the PPA for the upcoming Ubuntu release Natty

I previously sent a cri de coeur about this problem to the r-help list but so far have not managed to extract a solution. So I am trying here. (Uh, Ubuntu *is* a "special instance" of Debian, isn't it?) The problem is that I cannot install rgdal, and I need it. Rather desperately. I do: install.packages("rgdal",lib="/home/rolf/Rlib") and get the error

Per the suggestion of this list when I posted on the r-help list, I have gone to cran, linux downloads and read the read me file to try and install the binary for R 2.15.1 on my ubuntu AMD64 machine. I added to my sources.list the deb http:\\cran.wustl.edu\bin\linux\ubuntu precise main . Then I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install r-base. The system promptly installs R 2.14.1 . I
