Dear all, I am having trouble with install.packages() when specifying a non-CRAN repository. The command below works in R 2.1.0 and R 2.1.1 compiled from source in Linux, bringing up the Tcl/Tk interface for selection, but in 2.2.0 I get
> install.packages(repos='http://flr-project.org/R') Error in install.packages(repos = "http://flr-project.org/R";) : argument "pkgs" is missing, with no default In addition: Warning message: number of rows of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 2) in: cbind(1, res0, Repository = repos) Has there been any change to this function, or the way repositories should be organised, that I have missed in the NEWS file? For example, a package file called FLCore_1.0.7.tar.gz is located in http://flr-project/R/src/contrib/ and the relevant entry in the PCAKGEs file looks like this: Package: FLCore Version: 1.0.7 Depends: R (>=2.2.0), methods, graphics, stats, lattice but install.packages from R 2.2.0 is not getting to it. In contrast, The FLCore_1.0.3.3.tar.gz file, with entry Package: FLCore Version: 1.0.3.3 Depends: R (>=2.1.0), methods, graphics, stats, lattice gets picked up when install.packages is called from R 2.1.1. There are other packages in this repository that do not have versions dependent on R version, but still the same problem appears. Any ideas? Thanks very much, Iago Mosqueira ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
