[Rd] Unable to Install Packages from Binaries on Windows for R 3.2.3
Installing packages from binaries on Windows seems broken, when using mirrors that are up to date with CRAN install.packages( 'httr', type = 'binary', repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"; ) Changing repos to the Kansas CRAN mirror installs the package as expected, but that could be because the KS mirror has not yet synced. Someone pointed out that the PACKAGES.gz file at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/ seems to be corrupted (0 KB), and this could be the issue.

It's at 202K now in both places.

Removing 'type=binary' worked for me. install.packages( 'httr', repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"; ) But I get an error when I select binary as type --- install.packages( 'httr', type = 'binary', repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"; ) Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform. --- Same error for another package --- install.packages( 'lme4', type = 'binary', repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/";) Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform --- Platform session info below: sessionInfo() R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Regards, Steve Bronder Website: stevebronder.com Phone: 412-719-1282 Email: sbron...@stevebronder.com On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 11:33 AM, peter dalgaard wrote: > > > On 27 Feb 2016, at 05:22 , Ramnath Vaidyanathan < > ramnath.vai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Installing packages from binaries on Windows seems broken, when using > > mirrors that are up to date with CRAN > > > > install.packages( > > 'httr', > > type = 'binary', > > repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"; > > ) > > > > Changing repos to the Kansas CRAN mirror installs the package as > expected, > > but that could be because the KS mirror has not yet synced. > > > > Someone pointed out that the PACKAGES.gz file at > > https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/ seems to be > corrupted > > (0 KB), and this could be the issue. > > > It's at 202K now in both places.

It works for me now. Thanks.

Re: [Rd] Unable to Install Packages from Binaries on Windows for R 3.2.3
Hi Steve, CRAN only compiles packages for Windows and OS X, so this is a) completely expected and b) completely unrelated to the issue being discussed in this thread.

[Rd] a quick question before I proceed
Is this the proper forum for questions on Fortran, MPI, RInside, and Rcpp, please? Thanks, Erin [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

I saw your earlier question on r-help by chance (still subscribed, but don't real anything but fractions on it) and mostly shook my head in amusement. Hardly the right venue. Rcpp and RInside are about C++. They have their own mailing list. We pointed to it for all those years. MPI is an HPC topic so I would ask on r-sig-hpc. Note that RInside /does/ have an examples subdirectory with worked MPI code. Which has been there sinc 2010 too. For Fortran you may be on your own, or ask here. Why you think anybody would combine Fortran and C++ at the same time with R is beyond my pay grade. Also note the warning in 'Writing R Extensions' (which I am sure you read carefully too): There is no guarantee that C++11 can be used in a package in combination with any other compiled language (even C), as the C++11 compiler may be incompatible with the native compilers for the platform. (There are known problems mixing C++11 with Fortran.) So if you want Fortran and C++, make sure you use plain C++. For the intersection of all topics, no dedicated forum exists as far as I know.
