Hi,
I am trying to install the misc3d package on a Windows (XP) installation of R
2.0.1 using install.packages("misc3d") but with no success. I have
used this approach with other packages OK, but for misc3d I get the following
output...
trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES'
Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 27996 bytes
opened URL
downloaded 27Kb
Warning message:
No package "misc3d" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir =
tmpd, available = available,
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Mark

There is no version of misc3d for R 2.0.1. I think misc3d was released in June, well after 2.1.0 came out, and we don't do binary builds for old releases. If you want to use that package, you'll need to upgrade (or try to compile it yourself). Duncan Murdoch
misc3d is a very new package. CRAN's windows binary repository for R-2.0.x is no longer updated, hence does not contain the package. The corresponding ReadMe tells us: "Last update: 19.04.2005." Either upgrade to R-2.1.1 and try again, or compile the package from sources yourself.
