Sir/Madam, I have been trying to install packages from bioconductor or CRAN but we get an error message saying "can't open URL http://www. bioconductor.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/PACKAGES". Kindly help me in resolving this problem. Further, I would like to know that to whom I should request for scripts of ADE-4 package. GAYATRI Project Assistant, IGIB, New Delhi.

If you are on Windows (you haven't told about your OS), please read the R for Windows FAQ. Package ade4 is available on CRAN. BTW: You can download packages manually from both CRAN and BioConductor and install those packages afterwards. Uwe Ligges

Kindly help me > in resolving this problem.The 1.7 in that URL indicates that you are running version 1.7.x of R. The current release is 1.8.1. It may help to upgrade to the current release.> Further, I would like to know that to whom I should request for > scripts of ADE-4 package.You should be able to install that package with install.packages("ade4") when running on a computer connected to the internet. The Windows and Mac OS X gui versions of R have a menu-bar selection that makes this a bit easier (see the "Packages" menu).
