– alternatively, one could set the search of cran mirror to non-graphic, by typing: chooseCRANmirror(graphics=FALSE) before the install command.

• correct: find . -name ’*.’

select CRAN mirror without X11 running

– add the address of a CRAN mirror to your install command, e. g. install.packages(c("sp","rgdal"), dependencies=TRUE, repos="http://microarrays.unife.it/CRAN/")

Solution: Add a dot after the find: • old: find -name ’*.’
