R SIG Debian - Mar 2010 - installing package reshape and plyr on Debian Lenny

Hi all,


has anyone tried and possibly succeeded in installing "reshape"
package on Debian Lenny? I have a permanent failure because i cannot find the
"plyr" package. I tried 10 mirrors. I contacted Hadley Wickham and
James Long who seemed to have been closed to do it but it didn't work
(meaning so far I haven't the answer from them). So has anyone any ideas as
how to install "plyr" on Debian Lenny. I can't find a source for
linux at cran.

Thanks,
David.

I installed reshape 0.7.4 directly from the cran tarball on lenny.  It
had no explicit dependencies, though butler was a suggests.

The file stamps seem to indicate I did that 2009-04-30, though it's
possible I did it earlier and then copied it.

Hi,

the plyr source is on CRAN. So I do not understand where you have looked for 
it.

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/plyr_0.1.9.tar.gz

did you try 

R> install.packages("plyr")

under linux?

Kind regards,

Johannes
