[R-sig-Debian] compile library

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi,

did you have a look at the ubuntu README on CRAN?

First see if there are precompiled packages

aptitude search r-cran-epi

if not install r-base-dev to be able to compile source packages, and then, 
from within R, run

install.packages("epiR")

For details and some background, please refer to the README on CRAN. In some 
rare cases you need to install headers of libraries that are used in the 
package.
