Hi folks, I am currently having the problem with using R 2.8.1 that I cannot install some of packages from CRAN or local drive and somebody may be able to help me. ex) faraway package and lme4 package. I have downloaded them in my hard drive as local, but still R was unable to find the package (message showed up as no such file). I could download most packages, but not all what I want. I showed my PC to R experts around and nobody had ideas. I've re-installed newest R and updated packages hundred times, but still same message came up. My working environment is: OS: XP Windows R2.8.1 Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks a lot, Odette [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
