Hi

R basic packages always works fine in my laptop (also ubuntu), you don't
need to reinstall anything once you installed the package, did you do that
in your terminal like
$R (enter R session)
>install.packages('package name')
>q()

then everytime you enter the R session, you just library('package name'),
that should work... I don't know if it is sth about user privilege , do you
use R on your own computer or on other servers?

Regards

Tengfei
