Hi all,

I am trying to get Anne's home range plugin working on the
OSGeo Live 5.0 DVD (xubuntu 11.04) after an 'apt-get update'.
Numpy and rpy2 are already installed. In earlier versions we
installed most of the R-spatial package dependencies
automatically, but for 5.0 we had to turn a bunch of them off
(to save disc space I think).

after installing the adehabitat and shapefiles R packages +
dependencies* all was well, but I'm still missing "gcplib".

[*] tkrplot required 'sudo apt-get install tk8.5-dev tcl8.5-dev'


in the R console it says:
> install.packages("gcplib", repos= "http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz/", lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/", dependencies = TRUE)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package 'gcplib' is not available (for R version 2.14.0)

no luck trying with 'source = TRUE' either.


Ubuntu/Natty shipped with R 2.12, but after updates I've ended
up with version 2.14 from
  deb http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu natty/


has anyone figured out how to get it to work with a recent copy
of R? has it been replaced by something else?

?

thanks,
Hamish

ps- anyone have a favourite R graphical frontend/IDE that comes
as a standard ubuntu package?
