Installing Rglpk on linux

Question

I am trying to install Rglpk using the install.packages command. I am getting this error : /bin/sh: line 0: cd: GLPK: No such file or directory make: *** [GLPK.ts] Error 1

Answer 1

I got this fixed by running 'sudo make' and 'sudo make install' instead of 'make' and 'make install'. Not sure if this is good practice, someone else be the judge.

cd $HOME
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/glpk-4.65.tar.gz
tar xfzv glpk-4.65.tar.gz
mkdir GLPK
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

Then run install.packages('Rglpk') from within R.
