Sorry. R was version 3.2.1
ggplot2 1.0.1

I was working on my laptop, where I didn't have email enabled, so I was
unable to cut & paste all the output. The last bit of the error
messages boiled down to "unable to find libicui18n.so.50. No such file
or directory"

I hadn't tried that.
Follow-up: On the laptop I downgraded to R-3.1.3 and things worked
again. The various error messages I got were confusing. When I tried
to install ggplot2 from the first US mirror the https server at
Berkeley), it told me "gplot2 not available for R 3.2.1". When I tried
one of the other servers (e.g., other Berkeley server, or the UCLA
server) it would download, and come to grief with the libicu message.
But downgrading to R 3.1.3 seems to have cured things.
I'm still baffled, however, since I'm writing this on my desktop
computer which has R version 3.2.1 and a successful install of ggplot2
-1.0.1 actually working.
