Re: [R] Installing views in R2.15.3
Note that the Mac OS X binary packages for R pre-3.0.0 are still being made (and those for 2.15.x being updated). There are known inconsistencies in the indices, which should go away in a day or two.

[R] Installing views in R2.15.3
Hi, Please what am I doing wrong? I tried installing some views (eg MachineLearning, Multivariate) on R2.15.3, but it keeps on telling me that the package is not available for 2.15.3. Is it true?

Yes, true. But it may help the original poster to look at which packages could not be installed and check their corresponding CRAN web packages. Often the packages have certain system requirements and hence no binary versions are available for certain OSs etc. hth, Z Best, Uwe Ligges __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
