Anja, The only bug here (apparent to us anyway) is the bug in your understanding[*see below]! Why do you think this is a bug in R? pheno is a contributed package and *nothing* to do with R. Please consult the posting guide ( http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html ). Then read section 6.3 of the R Admin and Installation manual that can be found here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html After checking that you have followed the instructions for installing packages correctly, paste the errors you get upon trying to install the package into an email and send it to the maintainer of pheno, details of whom you'll find on the CRAN web page for the pheno package. If you fail to get an answer in a reasonable amount of time, say 1-2 weeks, only then try sending the message to R-Help, stating *all* the relevant information that the posting guide asks you to. Do *not* file a bug against R unless you know for certain that the reason the package won't install is due to a problem with R. For starters, try updating your version of R (2.4.1 is very old - we are on 2.6.1 with 2.6.2 due any day now) and then try to install the package again. G [*] You are likely to get emails from annoyed people because by filing a totally inappropriate bug report you've just caused an amount of unnecessary work for someone in the R Core Development Team who will have to go in and remove your erroneous bug. Given that they give their time for free you can understand they might be a bit miffed that you appear to have failed to heed any of the advice and requests in the posting guide and instructions on what is and is not a bug in R from the FAQ. -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.
