I cannot help you, but maybe I can help you to help yourself: 1) go to the archiv: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/about.html 2) I tried with the search term: "Warning: unable to access index for repository" 3) in the result page I took the first entry: (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/10/13619.html) 4) which gave me the answer: >I expect you need to set a proxy. This is covered in the rw-FAQ that we do ask you to >read before posting. See the item > > The internet download functions fail. 5) The rw-FAQ is the Windows FAQ. As I didn't remember where it is, I just looked at the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html which gave me: 6) http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html or more exactly: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-internet-download-functions-fail_002e I don't know if this helps, but I think these are the steps that you should/could do for yourself before asking on the maillist. Of course it's not always as simple to get the right answers out of the archiv. -- Regards, Hans-Peter ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
