Re: 'ssconvert' has not been installed during installation of 'gnumeric' R-package

[Jean Bréfort <jean brefort normalesup org>]

Quite strange that you need libxml2-dev, this one is just needed if you
build gnumeric yourself.
You just need to install the gnumeric package, it
contains /usr/bin/ssconvert. I suppose you try to use it from R, if you
have ssconvert installed and R does not find it, then it might be that R
does not look for it at the right place, just guessing.

Hope this helps,
Jean
