hi Uwe,

thanks for your response.

I ran the following as per the instructions on the Cairo website:


sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev

following which I tried to install FastRWeb again (hopefully I have not missed any steps in between)....can you pls. tell me how I can fix this error..


> install.packages("FastRWeb",dep=TRUE)
