[R] problem of unix package installation, following code no response: install.packages("packagename", dependecise=TRUE)
Dear list
I am trying installing a package under unix, the command as below
works in some case but not some other cases, the primary
syndrome is R will stop there with a message: (say I am trying to
install the package SASxport)
###########################
Warning in install.packages("SASxport", dependencies = TRUE) :
argument 'lib' is missing: using
'/usr/home/d/068/wangyong/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.7'
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/src/contrib
#############################
My internet connection has no problem, why this happen?
or can you suggest some more options or examples to follow for package
installation under unix?
Thank you
will

It has nothing to do with your UNIX system. The CRAN mirror at CMU is
currently not available. You may choose another mirror. For example,
install.packages('SASxport', repos =
'http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu')
