Probably not correctly configured proxy setting?
thus, install.packages("RCurl_0.91-0.tar.gz") won't work.
install.packages("RCurl"), to be precise
a zip-file does not exist, only the tar.gz file.
It exists. The most recent version of RCurl for Windows for R-2.13.x
is available from "CRAN extras" which expands to:
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/RCurl_1.6-10.1.zip
I wonder where you got that ancient version of RCurl (0.91-0) from?
so i tried to install from the source that i downloaded to:
"E:/R/R-2.13.0/library/RCurl_0.91-0.tar.gz"
i tried to apply the manual for R Installation and Administration but
admittedly doesn't grasp it - any help how to achieve this would be greatly
appreciated.
After installing the prerequisites as mentioned in that manual, you could do
install.packages("/path/to/RCurl_0.91-0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
but RCurl won't install out of the box (therefore the version on
"CRAN extras" rather than an auto-built one on regular CRAN - the
former is manually tweaked by Brian Ripley).

hi,
i'd like to install the package "RGoogleDocs ".
i downloaded to path "E:/R/R-2.13.0/library/RCurl_0.91-0.tar.gz"
i run R from an usb-stick and can't get the install.packages() prompt to
run correctly - can anyone help with this?
1. Why not use install.packages() to install it from the net?
2. You can download the binary package (zip) file, if network access
is not available for you on the target machine.
3. If you want to install from sources (the tar.gz), please read the
manual R Installation and Administration.
