Hi all, I can't understand why grid package failed to installed on my machine. Can anybody have a look and advice on where I am missing it.
My R version is 2.9.2. After untarring: tar xzvf grid_0.7-4.tar.gz, I tried to configure or make but none worked, 'no such files'. I have also tried using : sudo R CMD INSTALL /home/ogbos/Desktop/goo/grid_0.7-4.tar.gz which also resulted in the error below. * Installing to library '/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8' * Installing *source* package 'grid' ... Error: Invalid DESCRIPTION file Invalid package name. This is the name of a base package. Execution halted ERROR: installing package DESCRIPTION failed Thanks for any advice.
