I recently upgraded to *R-3.2.0* from *R-2.14.1* on *Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.* I have been *trying to install some add-on packages* (that weren't installed in the earlier version of R) to R-3.2.0. *but to no avail*, getting repeated error messages. For example, *I tried installing swirl*. Here's my output. The problem areas are highlighted in yellow. Any solution?
