[R] Problems with Package Installation.

[hippie dream]

I am having difficulty installing packages. For example, here I have tried to
install "gplots" but to no avail. I have tried multiple mirrors and
different packages (errbar) but after installation I seem to be unable to
access any of the commands or help pages. I am a little concerned about the
'lib' missing message but this has been present for previous successful
package installations. I running Ubuntu 8.04 and R 2.7.1. I am sorry but I
am totally lost here. Thanks in advance for your help.
