Michael--
I had emailed Duncan Lang about this a while back (the maintainer of Rstem). He
gave me the following suggestion (which worked for me with R v2.2.1 and Windows
XP):
install.packages("Rstem", repos =
"http://www.omegahat.org/R")
cheers, Dave
Dear r-helpers,
I can't get lsa to run because:
> library(lsa)
Loading required package: Rstem
Error in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc
= lib.loc) :
'Rstem' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?
In addition: Warning message:
cannot create HTML package index in: make.packages.html()
> install.packages('Rstem')
Warning in install.packages("Rstem") : argument 'lib' is
missing:
using /Users/mk/Library/R/library
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available available, :
no package 'Rstem' at the repositories
Since Rstem is on http://www.omegahat.org/, I then followed the
advice at http://www.omegahat.org/cranRepository.html:
> options(CRAN = c(getOption("CRAN"),
"http://www.omegahat.org/R"))
> install.packages('Rstem')
Warning in install.packages("Rstem") : argument 'lib' is
