R BayesVarSel on Ubuntu installation

Question

I\'m trying to install the BayesVarSel package on a ubuntu 12 box on AWS EC2. It works fine on my windows 7 machine (R 2.15.1

Answer 1

I was able to recreate the error with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (desktop) running in VirtualBox. As @Dirk Eddelbuettel suggested, sudo apt-cache search libgsl produced a useful list of packages. It's not clear why that didn't work on your machine.

I installed libgsl with:

sudo apt-get install libgsl0ldbl
sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev

Now BayesVarSel compiles and loads without error.
