The easiest approach is to run ./tools/rsync-recommended from the top-level source directory for R. That uses rsync to downloads the sources for the recommended packages then creates the necessary links. (At least it works for R-devel and I believe it works for R-patched. There was a time when the links were not getting corrected properly.) ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
