[R] rimage package problems

[Michael Bedward]

Hello again Ralf,

Using the instructions at that link (minus the bit about copying
config files from /usr/share), followed by...

install.packages("rimage", type="source")

...seems to have worked for me. I can now load the package and read /
display a jpeg file.

Michael
