Hi Jeff Can you be more specific why question about "using" R-devel shall be directed to R-devel help list? Posting guide tells me: R-help is intended to be comprehensible to people who want to use R to solve problems but who are not necessarily interested in or knowledgeable about programming. R-devel is intended for questions and discussion about code development in R. Questions likely to prompt discussion unintelligible to non-programmers should go to to R-devel. For example, questions involving C, C++, etc. code should go to R-devel. More general questions involving pure R code and questions likely to be of interest to the large and diverse set of subscribers to R-help should go to R-help. and If you are using an old version of R and think it does not work properly, upgrade to the latest version and try that, before posting. If possible, try the current R-patched or R-devel version of R (see the FAQ for details), to see if the problem has already been addressed. So even Posting guide suggests to poor user not to use obsolete version of R and try R-patched or R-devel. To be honest - in R-patched (3.1.2) setInternet2(TRUE) utils:::menuInstallPkgs() works without problems and the same applies to R-devel version from June (3.2.0 - 66175) but it throws error in (3.2.0 - 67792). There is 15814 bug report about Package Installation which is replied by Brian Ripley: The 'package installer' is the program which installs the Apple package. If you mean the 'Package Installer' menu item in R.app, there is a known issue (but that is only known to causes failures, not freezes). I tried Richard's suggestion (thanks Richard) and with small modification (I do not want to install from sources) install.packages("ggplot2", repos="http://cran.at.r-project.org", dependencies=TRUE) works as expected, therefore the problem is in **menu driven installation procedure**. Shall I fill a bug report? Or it is already known to R developers?

I agree that the PG muddies the water a bit on this topic. However, the web page from which you downloaded the patched version warns: "This is not an official release of R. Please check bugs in this version against the official release before reporting them." When a new version is under development, the number of bugs often increases temporarily by quite a bit. Any use you make of a patched or development version is at your own risk, and should be undertaken for two reasons only: to address a specific problem you are having with the released version, or because you want to help test the unreleased version out of the goodness of your heart (bless you). In either case, chatter about bugs you encounter that are not in the released version belongs on R-devel. If you can reproduce the problem in a released version, posting on R-help would be more appropriate, but if you are sure it is a bug then filling a report is the right thing to do. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

It could be that our IT people silently changed a firewall or something, which would prevent package installation from menu. Far too often I am not able to open some web pages e.g. (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel) and I do not have power to change it. However it seems to be that this particular problem is in R menu procedure for installation as I wrote in my previous mail.> > If you can reproduce the problem in a released version, posting on R- > help would be more appropriate, but if you are sure it is a bug then > filling a report is the right thing to do.It is hard to reproduce and I believe that the problem is probably already known by R core (I thank them for their marvellous work). For me it is solved by install.packages function. Thanks Best regards Petr> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---- > Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
