无法在Ubuntu12.04.4上为R2.15.3安装软件包reshape2

Question

我在Ubuntu12.04.4LTS上安装R2.15.3的reshape2软件包有困难。我决定不升级到R3.x，因为我使用的许多软件包都没有升级以支持新版本。

当我尝试在Ubuntu12.04.4LTS上使用R2.15.3安装reshape2时，我得到以下信息。

> install.packages("reshape2")

然后，我尝试安装缺少的Rcpp，但得到了错误消息：

Warning message:
package âRcppâ is not available (for R version 2.15.3) 

我搜索了更多，发现Rcpp现在需要RV3.x，但是有一个向后兼容的RcppClassic版本。

在尝试安装RcppClassic时，我得到：

然后，我尝试并能够使用"sudo apt install r-cran- Rcpp“安装rcpp：

$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-rcpp

但是当我试图在R中安装"reshape2“时，我得到了与以前相同的错误消息。

我不明白的是，为什么我会收到错误信息：

Warning: dependency âRcppâ is not available

因为'sudo apt install r-cran-rcpp‘工作。

经过进一步的搜索，我在这里找到了一个关于如何使用RcppClassic：http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppClassic/vignettes/RcppClassic-intro.pdf的小插曲。

然而，对描述、命名空间和MAKEVAR文件的修改已经开始超出我的能力范围，因此我正在寻求帮助。

下面是sessionInfo()的输出：

提前感谢！

编辑3/15/2014: --我的“用例”是，我在AWS EC2实例上运行一系列定期作业，所以我不需要最新/最优秀的软件特性。我在我的Mac开发机器上使用的是R2.15，所以我只是想将我所拥有的移植到我的AWS EC2 Ubuntu实例。

我使用的包是: reshape2、xlsx (和xlsxjars)、RJSONIO、stringr、R2HTML、RCurl、绘图、格、latticeExtra、gdata和ggplot2。

有几件事：

1. 您坚持使用Ubuntu12.04 LTS。稳定的分布。这很好。你自己选吧。这也意味着你选择在2012年4月前几个月冻结你的软件。
2. 现在你想从克莱恩那得到点什么。当前的东西。这与前一点相抵触。
3. 要么你呆在发行版里。或者你变成了现代的人。
4. 阅读Ubuntu README并学习如何使用Ubuntu12.04，同时获得一个当前的R包。
5. 安装R3.0.3(当前)通过该回购。
6. 将您想要的CRAN包安装到/usr/local/lib/R/site-library中。
