I just downloaded the windows version
R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-05 r39134)
1. When I downloaded the packages, the following two were not found.
> utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
dependency ''fCalendar'' is not available
dependency ''SparseM'' is not available
I am not sure which other packages depend on these.
2. Of the others, several didn't install cleanly
package 'mlbench' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-
2.4.0alpha\library\file41bb5af1\mlbench' to 'C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\mlbench'
package 'tseries' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\file305e124
\tseries' to 'C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\tseries'
package 'DAAG' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-
2.4.0alpha\library\file491c440d\DAAG' to 'C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\DAAG'
package 'acepack' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-
2.4.0alpha\library\file767d7a5a\acepack' to 'C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\acepack'
package 'rcom' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-
2.4.0alpha\library\file58784b40\rcom' to 'C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0alpha\library\rcom'
I reinstalled all five from the local zip files that were downloaded as part of
the above
installation, and four worked and one didn't.
I needed to reinstall mlbench a third time and this time it worked.
This type of problem frequently happens when I download a new version of R.
3. rgl is still not working in Windows
package 'rgl' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
> library(rgl)
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.0AL/library/rgl/libs/rgl.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified procedure could not be found.
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rgl'
>
Therefore the Rcmdr 3-d graphics isn't working.
