Errors installing plyr / rcpp

Question

I have two computers and in one of them I can\'t manage to install the plyr package for R. This is the error I get:

* installing *source* package ‘plyr’ ...
** p         


        

Answer 1

Got it!

The solution in my case was:

First, update R:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://streaming.stat.iastate.edu/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu quantal/' >>  /etc/apt/sources.list" 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

Then install codetools package from R:

install.packages("codetools")

After this, the installation of plyr went smoothly.
