Hi, Greg, Stephen, Liviu:
I tried "install.packages('gregmisc')", which Stephen said he
had. Then " help(pac=gdata)" seemed to work normally. However, when I
then tried "library(gdata)", I got an error message from the the
operating system, saying "perl.exe has stopped working". I cancelled
past that and got a message "gdata: Unable to load perl libaries needed
by read.xls() ... Run the function 'installXLSXsupport()'". I tried
'installXLSXsupport()' and again perl stopped working. I quit R and
tried "install.packages('gdata')" again, and it killed perl again.
Before installing 'gregmisc', I had tried
install.packages('gdata') by itself. That seemed to work. Then I
manually removed it and tried 'gregmisc', as Stephen had, and got
problems I don't know how to solve.
???
Thanks,
Spencer
