Hello all,
This is my first message to this list.
I'm reading "Applied spatial data analysis with R", and trying to
install "sp".
I went to http://cran.r-project.org/ then to Packages, but did not find
"sp"
I found and downloaded sp_0.9-72.zip
<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/sp_0.9-72.zip>from
the page linked to CRAN Task View Analysis of Spatial Data, moved the
zipped package to my library folder under R-2.8.1, and unzipped it,
obtaining folder sp_0.9-72 I opened R in folder library, and called
> library(sp)
Error in library(sp) : there is no package called 'sp', version 0.9-72
then I tried
> library(sp_0.9-72)
Error in library(sp_0.9 - 72) : 'package' must be of length 1
then I opened sp 0.9.-72 and moved folder sp to be under the parent
directory, library
> > library(sp)
Error: This is R 2.8.1, package 'sp' needs >= 2.10.0
I tried "update.package"
> update.packages(sp)
Error in update.packages(sp) : object "sp" not found
>
I then tried Update Packages(), which resulted in me updating a bunch of
other packages, but unfortunately left them in
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\RtmpmtERQd\downloaded_packages, and considering my
success so far, I'm afraid to move them or touch them.
I was running R-2.8.0 last year when I took Jon Bakker's course
"Analytical methods for community ecology", but upgraded this year to 2.8.1.
Not knowing where to find a package "sp" that is >= 2.10.0, I turn to
you for help.
Thanks,
Mike
