there?
Every CRAN mirror has subdirectories Archive, you have to fetch the files
manually. For ETH Zuerich:
http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib/Archive/
http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib/Archive/Rcpp/
For Rcpp and minqa I may get messy as minqa started to use some features we
put in when R 2.12 was around the corner. You may need some trial and error.
Again, CentOS has R 2.12.* so my money would be on buying the cluster admin
some coffee and getting him to move R forward.

[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3391631/installing-rcpp-in-r-2-10-on-ubuntu]
in which Dirk suggested to try a different mirror. But I get the same message
with other mirrors, e.g., install.packages("Rcpp",
repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org";).
