I am trying to install r package 'Rccp' which is necessary for the 'caret' package. Running:

install.packages('Rcpp')

results in:

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘Rcpp’ is not available (for R version 2.15.1)

I am using:

  • Ubuntu 12.10,
  • 'r ('littler') version 0.1.5 using GNU R Version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30)'
  • RStudio Version 0.98.942

How to install this package? Or maybe there are some workarounds?

The warning says that Rcpp is not available for R version 2.15.1. You mention that you are using R version 2.13.2 which is even older. If you update R to a newer version it should work.
