[R] installing mclust and flexmix on linux

[Tim F Liao]

I've been trying to install some R packages such as mclust and flexmix on linux but have had the following error messages.

> I've been trying to install mclust on my notebook which has linpus linux lite os and I have installed R as well as some packages all right.  However, when I tried to install mclust, it gave me the following messages.  Any suggestions?
