Please could you help? > SuzetteWhich CRAN mirror? There was a messup over the weekend where a router in Dortmund went down and the mirroring software misbehaved, deleting all the Windows packages from CRAN. However, CRAN master (cran.r-project.org) is back to normal now, and its mirrors should follow in a day or two. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

The easiest way to install a package is within R using ?install.packages. For example, install.packages("xtable") works perfectly fine for me in R-2.0.0 patched on Win2K. --sundar
Hi Suzette, did you try several CRAN mirrors, for instance I'm able to download it from a UK mirror: http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/src/contrib/Descriptions/xtable.html I hope it helps.

Which mirror of CRAN? I presume this is for Windows, since you mention .zip. There was a problem over the w/end, now restored on the main site. http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/xtable_1.2-4.zip is there. Try flushing any web cache if you can't see it.
