Hi all,
I just installed R 2.4.1 and tried to install the package 'sp' working
down from the 'Packages' menu in the R GUI. The package would not
install and I got the following message:
"trying URL
'http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.4/sp_0.9-10.zip'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
cannot open URL
'http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.4/sp_0.9-10.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, :
download of package 'sp' failed"
I tried to find the installation file "sp_0.9-10.zip" through
the CRAN website, but was unable to do so. So I was wondering if there was some
other way to get this package I need. Or perhaps there might be some problem
with the website itself.
Thanks,

So I was wondering if there was some other way to get this package I need. Or perhaps there might be some problem with the website itself.You didn't say which mirror you were using, but it looks like a problem there. I just tried from one of the Canadian mirrors and there was no problem finding the package. Duncan Murdoch
