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?
I'm not informed about the workings of r-forge, but did you notice
that there were no packages in that bin/windows directory whose
alphabetical collation would be after lowercase "i". That seems to
suggest some sort of system error encountered before the next package
after "ipreds" was completed.
On the project page the binaries for windows are listed as "offline".
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=431
I don't see any C modules in the source. Have you tried installing
from source?

The source packages are there, but not
the windows binaries. The log files
are uninformative:
p3d log file (build_win64)
