Libraries not installing

Working on Pier-Anne's computer.

Attempting to install the RSvgDevice package from R and keep getting the 
following error.

can you install packages with standalone R 2.11?

It still happens when I manually set the repositories in rExecutor

 local({r <- getOption("repos"); r["CRAN"] <- "http://cran.sixsigmaonline.org/"; options(repos=r)})
setRepositories(ind=1:7)
install.packages('RSvgDevice')

I can do it with the standalone R, I'll test again.

it theoretically installs but is not useable

> require(RSvgDevice)
Loading required package: RSvgDevice
> devSVG('test.svg')
Error in devSVG("test.svg") : unable to start device SVG
> ?devSVG
starting httpd help server ... done
> devSVG()
Error in devSVG() : unable to start device SVG

I tried to install multiple packages at the same time. ran into a bunch of R 
session is locked errors. and hard crashed R. Almost crashed the whole computer.

after restarting red-r, trying to install any packages fails
