[R] Installing packages "xslx" on Ubuntu (32bit)

[Ivan Calandra]

Hi Johannes,

As the error message says, install the latest version of R!
If you don't want to do it (I don't know why you wouldn't) I think you 
can also install the package from source if the old version of the 
package is still somewhere out there.

HTH,
Ivan
