Dear Mr. Murdoch, I am extremely sorry to have sent the mail to you instead of R-help. Thanks for directing me. I have downloaded R 3.2.3 version. After that i asked for install.packages("Rcmdr") . It says that Rcmdr is not available with version 3.2.3. On looking at the pdf file for getting started with R, i found that i should download with SDI Graphical interface which I did once again but still i could not get the Rcmdr console. I attended a workshop where the faculty brought out the R console as well as the R-commander console where i could import files and also do all the statistics easily. I am not getting the R-commander console. Shall be grateful if i could get help on getting the R-commander console with the user friendly way of doing the statistical operations. Thanks and regards, Once again apologize to Dr. Duncan Murdoch for disturbing him.

Dear Sekhar, The Rcmdr package, including a Windows binary, *is* available for version 3.2.3 (the current version) of R, as you can verify from the CRAN webpage for the package, at <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcmdr/index.html>. My guess is that the CRAN mirror you're using has a problem, and you might try selecting a different mirror. I hope that this help, John ----------------------------- John Fox, Professor McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 web: socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox ________________________________________ From: R-help [r-help-bounces at r-project.org] on behalf of Sekhar Venkatesan [venkatesansekhar at gmail.com] Sent: February 9, 2016 6:44 AM To: Duncan Murdoch; R-help at r-project.org Cc: R-windows at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Help required for Rcmdr Dear Mr. Murdoch, I am extremely sorry to have sent the mail to you instead of R-help.

dear all, I don't know if that problem is related to the Rcmdr package itself.. (Sekhar try to install any other packages..) I am experiencing the same problem, in that when typing > install.packages("_ANY_PACKAGE_") I get the message Warning message: package ?_ANY_PACKAGE_? is not available (for R version 3.2.3) But I can download the .zip file and unzip it.. I tried different CRAN mirrors... best, vito Il 09/02/2016 12.44, Sekhar Venkatesan ha scritto:> Dear Mr. Murdoch, > I am extremely sorry to have sent the mail to you instead of R-help.

Dear Vito, I've never experienced this problem myself in a general way, and I'm sure that Windows users of R call install.packages() all the time to install packages from CRAN mirrors. So the question to ask, I think, is what's preventing install.packages() from working in your case -- possibly an Internet connectivity problem due to a firewall, proxy server, use of https, etc. I'm sure that others more knowledgeable about these issues than I am will be able to make more specific suggestions for fixing the problem.
