[R] Error when installing packages

[Ulrik Stervbo]

Hi Georg,

excel.link and installr: as far as I can tell from CRAN, excel.link and
installr are for windows OS only
1-5: you are installing packages that are wrappers to system
function/programms. They must be present on your system first.

2: Maybe Weka is missing in the path? Is your java excutable really at
'/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/bin/java'. Maybe you need to tell R where to
find Java

I always install things like Rgraphviz from the ubuntu repository.

Hope this helps,
Ulrik
