I have just installed the latest version of R on a openSUSE 12.1 system 
running on an ORacle VM VirtualBox and have encountered a problem with 
installing ChemometricsWithR.  Here is the output:

> library("compiler")
> install.packages("ChemometricsWithR")

library/2.15’

Assistance and advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
