Hi Uwe,
Thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion and got the following
error message:
install.packages("splm",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org",type="source";)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 'splm' is not available
I have downloaded the "Package source (.tar.gz)" at the link below, and it
is not an empty file. Not sure what this problem means or what I can do
about it.
I got

Can you install packages from CRAN?

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [R] Installing binaries from R-Forge
The Windows binary seems not to be there. Since this is a development
platform and there may be various reasons a binary does currently not
exist, you could install the package from source, just add the argument
type="source" in your call to install.packages().
How to prepare your environment to allow to install source packages is
described in the R Installation and Administration manual.

Hello,
I'm attempting to install the splm package from R-Forge.
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=352
The page says, "In order to successfully install the packages provided
on R-Forge, you have to switch to the most recent version of R..." It
later says "To install this package directly within R type:
install.packages("splm", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)".
I just installed R-2.14 and I still get the following error message.
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 'splm' is not available (for R version 2.14.0)
Can someone please help? I understand that there is relevant
information in the posting guide, but I'm not a programmer and it's
difficult for me to understand. I thought I've followed the advice
from previous posts (notably, upgrade).
Thank you,
Mitch
