Michael,
Thanks. Since I have all the GNU build tools installed, and build most
applications from source, this is not a problem.
takes me about 20 seconds. plyr does have some compiled code though so
you might need tools. The other two are all interpreted code so you
won't need much.
What really puzzles me is that each package I request using
'install.packages("...")' returns the same error, including that reshape2 is
missing. I've tried this will ISwR and zoo. There are about a
dozen-and-a-half packages I need to upgrade so understanding why the
recommended apprach isn't working for me would be very helpful.
I suppose that I can use the above syntax for all of them.
Thanks,
Rich
