Just wondering if any CRAN or "R" guru out there might have seen something
like this....and could advise a potential fix (or advise what, if anything
I've missed) ?


I've installed pre-req packages without an issue:

[hostname ]#  *yum install libxml2-devel git svn gtk+-devel gtk2-devel
gnutls-devel openssl-devel mysql-devel*

[hostname ]#  *yum install R-core*

[hostname ]#  *yum install R-core-devel*

[hostname ]#  *yum groupinstall "Development Tools"*


I can start "R":


[hostname ]# *R*

     Type 'contributors()' for more information and
     'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.

     Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
     'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
     Type 'q()' to quit R.

     > q()
     Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: n




But when I try and install packages, I get the following (and it doesn't
show the Australian CRAN mirror which I think is normally option 5 and 6):


[hostname ]# *R*
