[R] Error while installing gsubfn_0.6-4.tar.gz for R 2.15.1

[Gabor Grothendieck]

If the problem is the same then you still have an incomplete version
of R.  As you can see from the August 27th checks gsubfn works fine on
the latest version of R:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gsubfn.html

Try installing Rcmdr.   I suspect it won't install either on your version of R.

Regards.
