R devel - Sep 2006 - ISwR (PR#9204)

I wanted to install the ISwR package onto my Linux system and used the 
install.packages command but it returns the message that  the package 
was not found at the repositories.

So I tried to install locally adding the argument repos=NULL but it gave 
a non-zero exit status report and the package is not present on the system.

I am a novice UNIX user and also new to R but I have followed the syntax 
faithfully and presumably successfully to get the messages I did.

I would be most grateful of to hear if you know of a problem with this 
package.


Many thanks

Installs happily here. You do need to give more information about
which commands you tried and what the responses were. Which version of
R, which repository, etc.

(Expect to see a couple of acidic notes about posting bug reports
prematurely...)
