Trouble installing shiny dependencies on ubtuntu 12.04 to host apps on shiny-server.

Question

When I go to my app address for a simple histogram app I get the following error:

An error has occurred

The application failed to start.

The application exited during initialization.

Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : The Shiny package was not found in the library. Ensure that Shiny is installed and is available in the Library of the user you're running this application as. Calls: local -> eval.parent -> eval -> eval -> eval -> eval Execution halted

So I try to reinstall the shiny package and I get this message which I am having trouble interpreting into the next course of action. Maybe I need to be explicit about install dependencies?

Answer 1

After installing the codetools package according to jdharrison's advice, I retried installing shiny and then stated that I needed to reinstall RJSONIO. I then installed RJSONIO and tried installing shiny again. Now it is asking me for package caTools. When I install caTools it asks for bittops. I then try installing caTools again and it needs package digest. I install that, try shiny again and it asks for xtable. I install xtable and now shiny installs! now shiny server is working.
