R help - Sep 2010 - Argument lib is missing

Dear all,

I have installed R using yum install R-2.9.  I am able to use R for general
functions but when I installed some library say gplots I am getting the
below error.
> install.packages("gplots")
Warning in install.packages("gplots") :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
'/home/fedora/R/i386-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.11'
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.csdb.cn/src/contrib
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘gplots’ is not available

any suggestion will be appreciable.

Thank you
Khush

That warning should not cause much problem.

 From time to time it happens that repositories are unavailable. I  
just checked and at the moment that repository is available. You could  
try again. (Or you could have tried another repository at that time.  
Trying another repository might make sense even now, since the version  
of gplots at that repository is fairly outdated. The current version  
is 2.8.0 and the one at csdb.cn is 2.7.1 from May 2009. There have  
been several revisions since that date.)
