[R] Problem in installing packages on linux machine...

[tkobayas at indiana.edu]

Hi,

I am trying to install RSQLite package on my Fedora workstation. I 
tried to install other packages as well, but each time I got the same 
error messages saying "compilation error" and "non zero exit status". 
Do I have to specify "lib="? I never specified the library path before 
when I was using Fedora Core 6.


Warning in install.packages("RSQLite") : argument 'lib' is missing: 
using '/usr/lib/R/library'

I appreciate your help.....

Thank you very much
