Re: [R] unable to access index for repository...

2020-10-08 Thread Jeff Newmiller
All support on this list is voluntary, and support for old versions of R is not 
even necessarily on-topic here which is why you keep getting nudged to upgrade. 
Your "need" for support for an old version is definitely not "our" problem, so 
I suggest you start looking for a consultant if this issue is that important to 
you. Such is the nature of volunteer-developed open source software... so 
support your local experts.

Re: [R] unable to access index for repository...

2020-10-08 Thread Steven Yen
Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used 
maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better 
handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)a sad reality I do not like.


Here is what I did. I downloaded

https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip

and installed the zip file, which worked in both RStudio and R (without 
RStudio).


In RStudio, I go Tools -> Install packages -> Install from -> (Choose 
zip) -> (Browse to the zip file)


IN R, I go Packages -> Install packages from local file(s) -> (Browse to 
the zip file)...


Below is the command line generated and the prompt.

> install.packages("C:/Users/USER/Downloads/aod_1.3.zip", repos = NULL, 
type = "win.binary")

package ‘aod’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

I will always be able to download the proper .zip file from CRAC 
Archive, right. So, this will always work for me? Thank you all !! If 
there are more direct options that work, I would still be interested to 
know.

2020-10-08 Thread Steven Yen
Thanks. You gentlemen please tell me what this means. In R (outside of 
RStudio) I ran:

install.packages("aod")

Received a warning (and installation did not seem to go through).

Then I tried

install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org')

Received a warning but it went on to try

https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip

and it worked. See log below.

I expect to continue to use R-3.0.3 for a while and I very much like 
this to become a routine. Thank you all.

Just remembered:  RStudio runs its own wrapper around 
install.packages().  Steven, you should try doing the install from 
outside of RStudio, and see if it makes a difference.

Hi,

through the GUI drop down menu. I get: Warning: unable to access index for

Warning messages:

In fact, just to assign the CRAN location in the drop down menu takes forever. From web 
searches, the first check is to see if you have internet access. I do and can download 
the packages directly to my hard drive and load them indirectly into R by using 
library(MASS, lib.loc=C:\\Users\\R\\R packages). This is starting to become a 
pain. Any suggestions on looking at potential security settings that I might need to 
deactiviate or any other issues?


You've probably got a firewall or proxy getting in the way.  You could 
re-install R with the internet2 option, or run setInternet2(TRUE) in a 
session to fix this.  (Or maybe you already did that, in which case 
setInternet2(FALSE) will turn it off.)





2)  Any suggestions how I can connect to a MySQL database through windows 
using R. I found this example on the web, but there is not a package for RMYSQL 
for windows. Bugger!!!

library(RMySQL)

drv = dbDriver(MySQL)

con = dbConnect(drv,host=mars,dbname=sat133,user=sat133,pass=T0pSecr3t)

album = dbGetQuery(con,statement=select * from tasks)


Install an ODBC driver for MySQL, and use RODBC.
