[R] linux gplots install unhappy

[Randy Zelick]

Hello all,

I use R on both windows and a "mainframe" linux installation (RedHat 
enterprise 3.0, which they tell me is soon to be upgraded to 4.0). On 
windows I installed the package gplots without trouble, and it works fine. 
When I attempted to do the same on the unix computer, the following error 
message was forthcoming:




downloaded 216Kb

* Installing *source* package 'gplots' ...

** preparing package for lazy loading
Loading required package: gtools
Warning in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc = 
lib.loc) :

Error: package 'gtools' could not be loaded
Execution halted

** Removing '/n/fs/disk/resuser02/u/zelickr/R/library/gplots'

The downloaded packages are in
         /tmp/RtmpikM2JW/downloaded_packages
Warning messages:
1: installation of package 'gplots' had non-zero exit status in:

2: cannot create HTML package index in:

Can someone provide the bit of information I need to progress with this?

Thanks very much,
