Re: [R] problems with .svg

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I suspect you have ignored

  'If you are using an old version of R and think it does not work
  properly, upgrade to the latest version and try that, before posting.'
(from the posting guide).  You didn't tell us your R version (as we asked 
in the posting guide) and so we have assumed it was the latest version 
given that quote.

RSvgDevice needs R >= 2.6.0, as

http://cran.at.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/RSvgDevice.html

shows (linked from the page quoted below).

Please do update your R if it is earlier.

Dear everybody,

the attached file: The server cannot seriousely be the problem. I would
be glad if you could find the mistake.
Thank you in advance.

What is going wrong?

You incorrectly specified contriburl: you only need repos, and giving
contriburl incorrectly is the reason for the message you got.

I suspect chooseCRAN mirror() failed because the CRAN master was
inaccessible: it has been from here on and off all day.  In which case you
will need to select a different mirror.

Yours, Leberl

Yes, try another mirror. Austria should work. Or go to
http://cran.at.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html
and download the package directly and install it via

R CMD INSTALL <package_file>

You might need to give the '-l' options for where to install to.

When asked I chose for the Bamberg-mirror.
Can you recognize a mistake? Should I chose for a different mirror?
Thank you in advance.

    Are you sure this is an R problem? I guess it is not, but
    rather a pstoedit problem.

    You can use the RSVGDevice package, or the Cairo package to
    export your graphics directly into SVG from R.
