[rkward-users] ggplot2 - package installation error

[Sourav Chakraborty]

Hi Meik,

Thanks for your quick response. 

"so the header file "asm/errno.h" cannot be found on your system, but is
needed 

to compile the Hmisc package sources. it's not a file from an R package, so 
you can't fix it by installing other R packages. you need to find out which 
ubuntu package provides it. run this on a console:

 dpkg -S asm/errno.h

it will search for "asm/errno.h" in all available packages, and show you that 
it's found in the package linux-libc-dev and linux header packages. once 
you've installed what you need (e.g. "sudo aptitude install <package name>", 
i'd go for the linux-libc-dev package first), try the R installation again."

Here is the code output:

I can't install or reinstall linux-libc-dev package.

I was going through this website: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94591
It did not help me.

"R can handle several library locations. this allows you to have your own 
package collection in your home directory so you don't need sudo. on a 
distribution like ubuntu with an advanced package management system i would 
always prefer to keep it this way, so you don't accidently overwrite files 
from an ubuntu package, or revert manual changes with the next package update 
without notice."

Thanks for the tips and explanation.

"you can manage most official/common packages by the debian/ubuntu package 
tools, i.e. (un)install them as .deb packages. try this on a console:

 aptitude search r- | grep "GNU R""

This is neat.

"for problems like this one, it's always helpful to know the R and RKWard 
version numbers as well. there's actually a special function for this, called 
"rk.sessionInfo()". you can call it in RKWard to generate all information the 
developers desire to know ;-)"
Nifty and very useful indeed. :-)
Here is the info for the developer then.

Thanks.
Best,
Sourav
