I would be grateful for a bit of help.

I am on a 32bit build of Ubuntu LTS 12.04 running R version 2.15.2 
(2012-10-26) -- "Trick or Treat" Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)

from within RStudio and from within a terminal (sudo R | 
install.packages("tiff") ) I have the following compile error:

 > install.packages("tiff")
Installing package(s) into '/home/andrew/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15'

Sure enough when you download the source files manually and hunt inside 
there is no tiff.h

I suspect the problem is me not tiff!
