[R] Problem in installing "quantreg" package

[Roger D. Peng]

You probably do not have permission to write to that directory (and you 
need write permission to install a package).  I assume you are on Unix?  
Either ask your system administrator to install it for you or install it 
into a directory where you have permission.  For example, I make a 
subdirectory called "R-local" in my home directory for installing my own 
packages.  Look at ?Startup to see how you can get R to recognize your 
local package directory.
