[R] Installing packages "xslx" on Ubuntu (32bit) [On R 2.14.1]

[Johannes Radinger]

Hi


> Hmm, there is no such package: did you mean xlsx?

of course xlsx :), 

I upgraded to 2.15.1 and installed openjdk-6-jdk and run R CMD javareconf.
Then I was successful in installing package "xlsx".

Thank you!
