Problem with Installing some R packages

Hi,

When I have tried to install some R packages such as Rgraphviz, I get the following error:

install.packages("Rgraphviz_2.12.0.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")

* installing *source* package 'Rgraphviz' ...

I need this package for bioinformatic analysis in the RDAVIDWebservice package, and I also have this problem with some other bioinformatic R packages.

It's still just an R question. If you read the error message you get you'll see that this is likely due to a folder permission needing changed (note the "Permission denied" part).
