Hi, I am running Debian Sid. I am having trouble with the R packages. Executing 'help()' or 'demo()' launches 'most' with no text. 'help.start()' works properly. When I try to install a package, I get the following problem: *********************************************************************> install.packages("ctv")Installing package(s) into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library? (as ?lib? is unspecified) --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Warning: unable to access index for repository cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/src/contrib Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package ?ctv? is not available (for R version 2.14.2)>********************************************************************* The system in question has a direct connection to the internet. I can browse to the repository and find the ctv package. The user has read and write permissions on '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' I don't know what to do here. Can someone advise?
Also, I have the following R packages installed: ebs15242 at biox:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep ^r- r-base install r-base-core install r-base-dev install r-cran-boot install r-cran-class install r-cran-cluster install r-cran-codetools install r-cran-foreign install r-cran-kernsmooth install r-cran-lattice install r-cran-mass install r-cran-matrix install r-cran-mgcv install r-cran-nlme install r-cran-nnet install r-cran-rpart install r-cran-spatial install r-cran-survival install r-doc-html install r-doc-info install r-doc-pdf install r-recommended install On 2/29/12, Ed Siefker <ebs15242 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, I am running Debian Sid.

Hi Ed, R 2.14.2 just came out, So I'm guessing that most packages are not yet rebuilt for it. You should still be able to load them as in (from terminal prompt) wget cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/ctv_0.7-4.tar.gz R CMD INSTALL ctv_0.7-4.tar.gz Jim Robison-Cox On 02/29/2012 11:33 AM, Ed Siefker wrote:> Hi, I am running Debian Sid.

Could be packages for new R have not yet migrated to the mirrors. You might try Austria rather than Berkley. Paul On 12-02-29 01:33 PM, Ed Siefker wrote:> Hi, I am running Debian Sid.
