I'm setting up a new laptop running Gentoo and wish to install R (as I do on all of my computers!).

However, I've hit a bit of a problem when it comes to installing packages.

I first tried to:

> install.packages(c("ggplot2", "plyr", "reshape2"))

And it duly downloaded all of the packages and its dependencies. However they didn't install reporting.

Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called ‘data.table’

Not a problem I'll just install the data.table package, unfortunately...
