[Env: Win XP] I've just upgraded from R 2.12.2 to R 2.13.1. As part of my upgrade process, I typically install some in-development packages from R-Forge that are not on cran. But for the first time, it doesn't work.
e.g., > install.packages("p3d", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") trying URL 'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/p3d_0.02-2.zip' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : cannot open URL 'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/p3d_0.02-2.zip' In addition: Warning message: In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found' Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, : download of package 'p3d' failed The list of packages I install this way is: special <- c("p3d", "patchDVI", "spacemakeR", "spida") install.packages(special,repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") Is this just an R-Forge problem? The source packages are there, but not the windows binaries. The log files are uninformative: p3d log file (build_win64) Sun Jul 31 00:28:31 2011: Building binary for package p3d (SVN revision 19) using R version 2.13.1 Patched (2011-07-22 r56481) ... Package up to date. Not building ... -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept.
