Hi Michael,
The easiest thing to do is just install the source package with
install.packages("p3d", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";, type =
"source")
You'll need install some prerequisite software first (if you've not
already done so). See
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset
Is that always true? I thought that one could install pure-R packages
from source without the toolset. Just asking, I'm not windozing, this
year anyway.

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 ...
