I am trying to install packages, WHat i did is:
options(CRAN= "http://cran.us.r-project.org/")
install.packages("pakgs")
However I got error message like:
trying URL `http://cran.us.r-project.org//bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES'
Error in download.file(url = paste(contriburl, "PACKAGES", sep =
"/"), :
cannot open: HTTP status was `404'
In addition: Warning message:

I can't find it on CRAN.> However I got error message like:...> argument `lib' is missing: using C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1051/library in:^^^^^^ You need to upgrade R. The latest version is 1.9.0. Version 1.5.1 (yours) is about two years out of date. Download and install the latest one from your nearest friendly CRAN mirror. Cheers Jason
