Hi lists,
Recently I needed to download a few R packages for Unix, Windows
and Mac OS X. The idea was to put them all together on a USB key
in order to be able to install them on systems without network connection.
It worked fine for the "src" and "win.binary" packages but I had the
following problems with the "mac.binary" packages:
> download.packages("XML", destdir=".", type="mac.binary")
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/macosx/x86_64/contrib/2.3
Warning in download.packages("XML", destdir = ".", type =
"mac.binary") :
no package 'XML' at the repositories
[,1] [,2]
The pb seems to be in contrib.url():
> contrib.url(getOption("repos"), "mac.binary")
[1] "http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/macosx/x86_64/contrib/2.3";
I'm using R 2.3.1:
> sessionInfo()
Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
attached base packages:
[1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils"
"datasets"
[7] "base"
The same pb occurs with R devel (r38641).
Cheers,
H.
