All:
I have been looking through the string of posts regarding this same issue,
but I haven't been able to fix this problem. 
I am running Ubuntu 10.4 64bit, R version 2.10.1 
I cannot install certain packages (e.g. "vegetarian") and each time it says
basically the same thing (regardless of the package): 
################################################################
... leaving stuff out ......

Error in library("vegetarian") : there is no package called 'vegetarian'
Execution halted

The downloaded packages are in
	‘/tmp/RtmphcJ8mn/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages("vegetarian") :
  installation of package 'vegetarian' had non-zero exit status

###############################################################

I have tried the following:
1) ensured I have 'build-essential' Ubuntu package installed (I do)
2) attempted install.packages as root (sudo R)

to no avail
