Hello All

I have some problem for installing  XML_2.6-0.tar . I am working in widows
and R version is  R-2.9.1


Unfortunately, I think there are some problems with CRAN being able to build
the XML package for Windows, at least the page:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/XML/index.html

Lists it as unavailable. However, I know I have installed it on a Windows
machine at the university using install.packages()-- R may be set up to pull
from some additional repository there. I'll check the next time I'm in the
lab.

As Charlie notes, the CRAN page lists the Windows version as unavailable, but
links to a README file which details:

<<The packages
  BRugs, ncdf, RCurl, RDieHarder, RNetCDF, udunits, and XML
do not build out of the box or are special in other circumstances.
Nevertheless these are available at
  http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.9/
kindly provided by Professor Brian D. Ripley.>>

Thus you can download the Windows zip file from there, and install it using the
"install package(s) from local zip files..." menu option.



or just say

install.packages("XML")

as that CRAN extras repository is already a default under Windows.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
