Yesterday, I installed R2.2.0 for Windows [Version 2.2.0 (2005-10-06
r35749)]. Unfortunately, 'install.packages("Matrix")'
produced the
following message:
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available =
available, :
no package 'Matrix' at the repositories
I installed lme4, maps, mapproj, CircStats, scatterplot3d, gregmisc,
Hmisc without problems. To confirm, 'library(lme4)' produced the
following error:
Error: package 'Matrix' required by 'lme4' could not be found
What do you suggest?
Spencer Graves
p.s. I get the same result using several different (US) mirrors.

I don't have an answer, but also want to point out that whenever I try
and download the pdf documentation associated with a package, my Acrobat
opens but tells me the file is corrupted. I did this for a random
selection of packages and the same problem seems to reoccur. I'm not
sure if this is just me or something on CRAN

I get the same result using several different (US) mirrors.I found it here: http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/src/contrib/Matrix_0.99-1.tar.gz and here: http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/Matrix_0.99-1.tar.gz at least. These are the only two I checked. Sean
If you are installing from Windows, the current version of Matrix apparently doesn't build automatically on Windows. See: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.3/check/Matrix-check.log (That's for R-devel. There're similar problems on R-2.2.0.) I'm sure Doug is aware of this...
