I am having problems installing package rggobi. I have spent days reading other people's questions about this topic but could not get any useful info out of previous answers. I am running 32-bit Windows 7 and have successfully installed GGobi version 2.1.8. My error looks like this:> install.packages('rggobi')Installing package(s) into ?C:/Users/cprice00c/Documents/R/win-library/2.15? (as ?lib? is unspecified) Warning message: package ?rggobi? is not available (for R version 2.15.0) Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/package-rggobi-is-not-available-for-R-version-2-15-0-tp4634763.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thanks.Read the rw-FAQ. No binary package is available, so you need to install from the sources. That will work on 32-bit Windows, only (and CRAN does not distribute 32-bit-only packages). There is some light at the end of this tunnel: a deadline has been set for a working rggobi update, and some progress has been made. -- Brian D.
