Hi, I'm trying to install R on Ubuntu. I succeeded at installing the r-recommended package that is present in the synaptics, but i can't find the xlsReadWrite package in the repositories included in my synaptics manager. Does anybody know a liable repository in which this package is present. Thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/xlsReadWrite-package-repository-for-Ubuntu-tp22283704p22283704.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It is a windows-only package, see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/xlsReadWrite/index.html (incidentally to you: it seems no longer maintained and does not build under R-devel on Windows, see http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.9/check/xlsReadWrite-check.log The maintainer has not responded to requests for a fix.) -- Brian D.
