You'd need a) the tools for compiling packages from source and even then you'd need b) to have additional software such as the XML sources and need to adapt some files in the XML package.

However, I know I have installed it on a Windows machine at the university using install.packages()-- R may be set up to pull from some additional repository there. I'll check the next time I'm in the lab. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/installation-problem-tp25438411p25439211.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
