Hi, I wanted to install tikzDevices on a installation of R (3.2.3) on a new machine. However, I am getting:> install.packages('tikzDevices')Warning message: package ?tikzDevices? is not available (for R version 3.2.3) Is there any way out for me other than wait for the tikzDevices to be updated in the repos? I am on Fedora 23 with everything up to date. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions and best wishes, Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ Receive Notifications of Incoming Messages Easily monitor multiple email accounts & access them with a click.

Please do not use http://r-forge.r-project.org/ to install tikzDevice. We no longer update tikzDevice on R-Forge. It may be a problem of your CRAN mirror. When in doubt, try the RStudio mirror (the chance that Amazon CloudFront is down should be much smaller than a single metal server somewhere): install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com") # make sure your version of R supports https Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Web: http://yihui.name On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 9:37 PM, Ranjan Maitra <maitra.mbox.ignored at inbox.com> wrote:> On Fri, 15 Jan 2016 21:25:06 -0600 Ranjan Maitra <maitra.mbox.ignored at inbox.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I wanted to install tikzDevices on a installation of R (3.2.3) on a new machine.

Perhaps there is some temporary binary-building delay because R 3.2.3 just came out? Did you try install.packages("tikzDevice", type="source") ?
