Hello,
I am runing linux on Ubuntus. I find it difficult to install R packages. I
am in South Africa. It always asked me to choose the nearest CRAN mirror. I
normally choose South Africa and once I clicked Ok, the error message pasted
below will appear. Please I am a new student of R and Ubuntus. The other
warning "argument 'lib' is missing: using
'/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-library/2.8'" is also a source of worry to me.
Could you please be kind enough to guide me. Your help will be much
appreciated.
Ogbos
