Hi Guys, Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for the delay in replying, I've been having one of those weeks.
I feel a little silly not trying the package name input as a character string, I should have know that. However I have tried your suggestions and neither worked. The code and error messages are at the bottom of this email and U can see the reason would appear the "reshape2" package is not available on the repositories I'm trying to access. I then tried closing R, reopening it and looking in the following CRAN mirrors: Australia UK(London) Canada(BC) USA(AZ) Reshape 2 was in none of them, my choices were: ResearchMethods Reshape ResistorArray But no reshape2!!!! Any ideas as to why I can't see reshape2? Is it just me or are other people having this problem? thanks > download.packages('reshape2', destdir="c:\\") Warning in download.packages("reshape2", destdir = "c:\\") : no package 'reshape2' at the repositories [,1] [,2] > install.packages('reshape2') Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package reshape2 is not available -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Spies Sent: Monday, 4 October 2010 10:57 AM To: Chris Howden Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] can't find and install reshape2?? The first argument in download.packages should be of type character or a vector of characters. This worked for me: install.packages('reshape2') as did: download.packages('reshape2', '~/Downloads/') Cheers, Jeff.
