[R-sig-Debian] [R] vignette problem

[Fernando Mayer]

Hi,

maybe this happens because you don't have xpdf installed. You can
install it with

$ sudo apt-get install xpdf

or, use evince (which is the default pdf viewer in Ubuntu). To do this,
change this option in your R session:

> options(pdfviewer = "/usr/bin/evince")

and try again. You may also want to put this line in your .Rprofile file
if you want to keep evince the default for all R sessions from now own.

[]s,
