Updating to version 2.15.2 cannot download statistics package

Question

Running Ubuntu 12.04. finally updated from 2.12 to 2.15.2 today, and when I run R, I get this error.

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/usr/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so': /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: ATL_chemv During startup - Warning message: package 'stats' in options("defaultPackages") was not found

 $ dpkg -l | grep "blas\|atlas" ii libatlas3gf-base 3.8.4-3build1 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software, generic shared ii libblas-dev 1.2.20110419-2ubuntu1 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library ii libblas3gf 1.2.20110419-2ubuntu1 Basic Linear Algebra Reference implementations, shared library ii libopenblas-base 0.1alpha2.2-3 Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library based on GotoBLAS2 ii libopenblas-dev 0.1alpha2.2-3 Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library based on GotoBLAS2 

Does anyone else have this problem or do you know how to fix it?

Answer 1

You should remove libopenblas-base
