Your e-mail headers suggest that you are on Windows, thus you might want to review this post by Prof. Ripley in a thread from 2004 addressing this issue: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/41937.html Alternatively, if you are comfortable running Linux, Dirk Eddelbuettel has kindly provided Quantian: http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html which is a Debian Linux based distribution that can run as a Live CD and can be booted from the CD without having to actually install it.
