similar to: motivation for setRepositories and chooseCRANmirror

install/update.packages will have a lot of changes in 2.1.0, and I have been adding some widgets to go along with this. - Rather than just CRAN and BIOC, you have a character vector of repositories. There is a function setRepositories() to set the appropriate option(). - There is no default CRAN, but a function chooseCRANmirror() to set a mirror, which is invoked if you try to access

I tried to install "segmented" from three different repositories but I keep getting the following message on R window: ... Please, advice where to find this package. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has run across this problem in the past and might be able to suggest a solution. I did a review of the FAQ's link trying to find a topic that closely related to the experience I was having, however I didn't see anything that might help in diagnosing the problem. While invoking the options under the "package" menu I get the following errors:

Hi All Please see the Rprofile file which i have modified as follows and after that when I start R then I see that R says to me "TRUE" for all the packages implying that all loaded at once.

Hello, unfortunately I had to compile latest version of R-2.0.1 by myself. I'd rather would prefer vendors binaries but since the current version of Ubuntu defaults to 1.9.x I had to compile R on my own in order to be up to date! So far, everything went fine and R runs smoothly. Unfortunately I am not able to use R CMD INSTALL command to install add-on packages. I followed RNews 3/3 and

Dear all, My gRbase package imports functionality from the bioconductor packages graph, Rgraphviz and RBGL. To make installation of gRbase easy, I would like to have these bioconductor packages installed in connection with installation of gRbase, but to do so the user must use setRepositories() to make sure that R also installs packages from bioconductor. Having to call setRepositories causes

I haven't been able to build yesterday's R-devel (or, as a test, R-devel_2005-03-11) on Windows XP. The error message I'm getting is to do with 'arithmetic.c', as shown below. Current R-patched seems to build fine, and I've built previous R-devels from source fairly often in the past-- though I have no understanding whatsoever of what's going on. FWIW the only changes
