[R] Message: No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?)
Hello All, I'm actually the system administrator of a UNIX system where several users use R version 2.6.0. I have a user who is trying to use the SURVEY package, and when he does, he gets the message: survey' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? When I run the library() command, I get (see below): Anything that is listed as ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** gives me the above mentioned error message. Thus, my question is, how do I get those particular packages to work?

I think running "update.packages()" from within R should do it if you have a network connection, but I don't know if all current versions have been tested on 2.6.0, so I'd also strongly suggest updating your R to 2.8.1. At the very minimum update R to 2.6.2, the bug fix release that followed 2.6.0.
