Graham,
It appears that the mail client I was using added some extra stuff. It
should be:
deb http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/
Just tested this line in my sources.list and it came back fine.

Michael,
Thanks for this, I have added CRAN like this before, during one of
many other attempts with Linux, but if If I add your code as suggested
or add the repository via synaptic, I get a 404 error
W: Failed to fetch
http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/linux/ubuntu/dists/<http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu>/jaunty//binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found
I have also tried the UK and Netherlands mirrors as well, but both of
these also give a 404 error.
I assume I am doing something stupid.

Graham,
The instructions for adding the CRAN repositories are here:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
But let me expand on them a little. This is assuming you have sudo rights.
If you do not, forward this email to your administrator.
In a terminal, enter
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
At the very end of this file, add the following two lines:
## CRAN
deb http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/linux/ubuntu
<http://%3Cmy.favorite.cran.mirror%3E/bin/linux/ubuntu> jaunty/
Save and close the editor. Then in the terminal run these lines:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821
gpg -a --export E2A11821 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base
This will authenticate the code, remove the old R and install the newest
version.
For a program like R in which there is constant development and bug fixes
(but not many), it is a good idea to use the most recent version from CRAN.

Paul,
Thanks, 2.8.1 is the most up to date in the Ubuntu Repository, so that
is the one I am using with Ubuntu. As a novice Ubuntu user I have been
given the impression that it is best to stick with the version via
synaptic/ubuntu repository BUT i agree this could well be a version
incompatibility issue as rattle isn't available from the Ubuntu
repository and installed directly from CRAN.
Maybe I need to uninstall the Ubuntu repository version and install
the latest from CRAN. I admit I find this what to install from where a
bit confusing.

That a very outdated version of R, current is R2.10
I just installed r2.10 and used

install.packages() # choose rattle

so perhaps a new intall and check those "attached packages listed above"
I have ubuntu 8.1 so you may need to check those library versions

Subject: [R-sig-Debian] Rattle - libglade not found
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:07:02 +0000
I have just installed rattle on Ubntu 9.04, and R 2.8.1 and get an
error message when I try to run it.
library(rattle)
rattle()
Error in rattle() :
The RGtk2 package did not find libglade installed. Please install it.
I have installed libglade2-dev through synaptic, and following
suggestion from an earlier thread re-installed RGtk2 using
install.packages, and through synaptic.
Can anyone offer some help - you may realise that I am not that
familiar with Linux/Ubuntu.
Many thanks,
Graham
P.S. I have cross posted this on the Ubuntu forum, before remembering
this forum existed.
