POInstall gdata failed (on 64 bit Linux)

Body
copied!<p>i was working on a R Script, which uses gplots Library. Therefore at some point of the script</p> <pre><code>library(gplots) </code></pre> <p>is called. This works great using a 32 bit linux box (Linux an 3.2.0-33-generic-pae 52-Ubuntu SMP i686 GNU/Linux, Ubuntu 12.04).<br> However, I tried running the script on a 64 bit machine (Linux sim 2.6.38-15-server 66-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux;Ubuntu 11.04) and now it throws errors:</p> <pre><code>Error in library(gplots) : there is no package called 'gplots' Calls: generateHeatmap -> library Execution halted </code></pre> <p>So when I try to install gplots it raises another error:</p> <pre><code>> install.packages('gplots', type="source", dependencies=T) ERROR: dependency ‘gdata’ is not available for package ‘gplots’ * removing ‘/home/schaller/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12/gplots’ ... </code></pre> <p>Thus, I am trying to install gdata:</p> <pre><code>>install.packages('gdata', type="source", dependencies=F) Installing package(s) into ‘/home/schaller/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package ‘gdata’ is not available </code></pre> <p>I've searched online for possible solutions. I Couldn't find any. However, I read that gdata is broken on current R versions in 64 bit mode. Someone posted a patched repo [1], but I couldn't use this a repo for installing gdata. So this means there is no possibility for using this package on a 64 bit machine for now?</p> <p>[1] - <a href="https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-April/236966.html" rel="nofollow">https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-April/236966.html</a></p> <p>Further info: R version 2.12.1</p> <hr> <p>ANSWER: Updating r-base to the current version fixed the problem.</p>
