The MASS package is listed on the CRAN web site ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/index.html) but I am unable to install it via install.packages(). The error is that the package is "unavailable". When I manually download the source tar ball and try to install it on a Linux machine, installation fails because "it is not a valid package". Do I need to search different repositories ? Thanks, Markus [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
MASS is a recommended package, so is probably already installed on your machine.

TryAnd if installation fails, it is either your internet connection that does not download the file in its original form or you have a broken installation of R (which would also be indicated if MASS is not already installed given you installed a released version of R).
