The return message said "unable to access index for repository.....". (see below) Does it mean the package not there? I already tried both repos = "http://r.findata.org/"; and repos = "http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/";. thanks, Gary Here is the output. >install.packages("RBloomberg",repos="http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/";) Warning in install.packages("RBloomberg", repos = "http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/";) : argument 'lib' is missing: using 'F:/PortableApps/R-Portable/App/R-2.11.1/../../Data/library' Warning: unable to access index for repository http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/bin/windows/contrib/2.11 Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package 'RBloomberg' is not available On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 5:14 AM, Gei Lin <[email protected]> wrote: > I think here: > > http://findata.org/rbloomberg/ > > On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 1:49 PM, Gary Chin <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> I am now using RBloomberg package 0.1 version which I download from >> CRAN, the latest version at CRAN. >> >> As I know, the latest version is 0.4.
