Hello, I am runing linux on Ubuntus. I find it difficult to install R packages. I am in South Africa. It always asked me to choose the nearest CRAN mirror. I normally choose South Africa and once I clicked Ok, the error message pasted below will appear. Please I am a new student of R and Ubuntus. The other warning "argument 'lib' is missing: using '/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-library/2.8'" is also a source of worry to me. Could you please be kind enough to guide me. Your help will be much appreciated. Ogbos
