Hi,
I tried to install spatstat using:
install.packages("spatstat", dependencies = TRUE, lib =
"./R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8")
but got the following msg:
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
<here i selected one mirror, and tried several mirrors)
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
Warning message:
In install.packages("spatstat", dependencies = TRUE, lib =
"./R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8") :
package ‘spatstat’ is not available
any idea why i am getting this error?
The error message is puzzling; spatstat is certainly available.
Perhaps the PAKAGES file was rewritten in the second you tried to
install - or you are using a corrupted mirror.
Hence please tell us which mirror you are using in which OS with which
version of R.
Best,

However you should be getting a ***warning*** message about being
unable to ``rename'' <stuff>/spatstat.
The somewhat mysterious cause of such warnings is that it is
necessary to supply an *absolute* pathname for ``lib'' rather
than a relative pathname as you have done. I was flummoxed by
this for decades; very recently Simon Urbanek (thank you again
Simon) pointed out to me the error of my ways.
Try something like:
xlib <- paste(getwd(),"/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8",sep="/")
install.packages("spatstat",dependencies=TRUE,lib=xlib)
and see how you go.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
