Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have just installed R 2.14.0.
When I try to install a package: install.packages("SPOT")
it returns an error message: "Error in readRDS(file) : error reading from
the connection".
Also, when I try the command in R: update.packages(), it returns the same
error message described previously.
Any ideas?

Monica,
Searches on rseek,.org and google seem to indicate this is an issue with
the directory in which you store you packages. I would try the following:
1. Delete your .Rhistory and .RData files in the directory in which you
are running R.
2. Try to run an "update.packages()"
3. If those fail, you may have to delete the directory in which you
have stored your downloaded packages. You would have to reload install
them, but it appears to be a solution.
Here is a stack overflow reference:
