[R] R 3.4.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium installed apparently fine, but packages failing to load ...
Hello! I welcome the new *R* 3.4.0. I installed it on my Windows 7 Home Premium [Service Pack 1, updated to latest, running on an HP AMD(Phenom) II 955 X4 Processor, 3.20 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 64-bit, with lots of free storage on disk and a solid state disk for virtual cache]. It was installed atop the previous *R* version. I tried the usual *update.packages(ask=FALSE)* and found many instances of packages, e.g., *ctmm*, *SweaveListingUtils*, *plotly*, *scatterplot3d*, *startupmsg *which failed to install, apparently because of an attempt to include an install of i386 instead of only x64. I was using the Berkeley mirror via *https:*>> R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) -- "You Stupid Darkness" > Copyright (C) 2017 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing > Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)I opted *not* to install from source those packages requiring compilation, although Rtools was installed and when installing a package before, FORTRAN compilations succeed. I also have an MSVC++ installed, but I've not gotten that to work on Windows, unlike when I install on Ubuntu machines. Unfortunately, install at least for these packages fails: Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation?y/n: n Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ?gpclib?

had non-zero exit status The important package *boot* was failing before as well, but I tried again using Vanderbilt as the mirror, and that seemed to work fine. Sorry for the length of the post, but I wanted to include all the important information, and did not know where or how to write a bug report about all this. After all, this does not look, strictly speaking, like an *R* or a package problem, but a delivery system problem. Thanks for all your great work! -- Jan Galkowski (o?)
