Hi,
I'm new to R. Apologies if this is a simple query, I've searched the mailing
lists and docs but can't find a solution to my problem.
I'm trying to make some packages available on our intranet. During development
the 'intranet' is a webserver running on localhost.
* When I call "install.packages" I get a mesage about not being able to access
'index for repository'.
* The directories are viewable and can be seen through a web browser.
* Web server is IIS running on Winows 7.
* I've used the same paths on the web server as where the packages are located
in the CRAN mirror's.
* I've tried setting setInternet2(TRUE), which was already set.
> r <- getOption("repos");
> r["CRAN"] = "http://localhost";
> r["CRANextra"] = "http://localhost/pub/RWin";
> options(repos=r)
> r
CRAN CRANextra
"http://localhost"; "http://localhost/pub/RWin";
> install.packages("abind")

Can anyone give me any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Does R need some kind
of index file to map between the name 'abind' and the zip filename?
Many thanks
Peter.
