[R] unable to access index for repository...

Thanks. I did as suggested but still received a warning, though the 
installation went through. Anything I could do to install without the 
warning message.

What is the contrib.url argument?

[R] unable to access index for repository...

He didn't specify the RStudio repos, though it's probably implicitly 
specified in getOption("repos").  I wonder why install.packages() is 
looking there, when repos is given explicitly?
