Re: [R] can't find and install reshape2??

2010-10-18 Thread Chris Howden 
Thanks for the ideas,

Just wanted to say that it was because I was using an old version of R (as
U suggested).

I have now updated to v12.0 and I can see and load reshape2.

(and I agree with Hadley that it would be nice if there was some way of
getting a more informative error message. However thanks to the helpful R
community I know now what to do if I have a similar problem in the future)

Hi Chris,

I have two guess:

1- You don't have installed 'stringr' pakage
2- Your R is outdated

Try this two things and after this mail me

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for the delay in replying, I've been
having one of those weeks.

I feel a little silly not trying the package name input as a character
string, I should have know that. However I have tried your suggestions and
neither worked. The code and error messages are at the bottom of this email
and U can see the reason would appear the reshape2 package is not
available on the repositories I'm trying to access.

I then tried closing R, reopening it and looking in the following CRAN
mirrors:
Australia
UK(London)
Canada(BC)
USA(AZ)

Reshape 2 was in none of them, my choices were:
ResearchMethods
Reshape
ResistorArray

But no reshape2

Any ideas as to why I can't see reshape2? 

Is it just me or are other people having this problem?

thanks

Re: [R] can't find and install reshape2??

2010-10-12 Thread chris howden 
Just wanted to say that I've gone onto the CRAN website and downloaded it
directly from there.

So its no longer a problem for me.

But it may be one for other people, it is kinda weird I couldn't see it on
the list of packages on 4 mirrors!!

Thanks for your help though.

My guess is you are using an outdated R version for which the rather new 
reshape2 package has not been compiled.

Re: [R] can't find and install reshape2??

2010-10-12 Thread Hadley Wickham 
 My guess is you are using an outdated R version for which the rather new
 reshape2 package has not been compiled.

I wonder if install.packages() could detect this case (e.g. by also
checking if the source version is not available), and offer a more
informative error message.

Hi everyone,

From which mirror? Was it even present at the mirror at that time?  
Have you tried another mirror or retried from the same mirror?




But when I click on “install package” it’s not coming up!?!?! I’m  
getting

reshape, but no reshape2?


I’ve also tried download.packages(reshape2, destdir=c:\\) 
download.packages(Reshape2, destdir=c:\\)…but no luck!!!




Well, that last one was sure to fail. And the first one should have  
been invoked with reshape2 rather than reshape2,  if the help  
page is accurate in saying the first argument needs to be a character  
vector. In neither case would this have installed the package, however.


Can you describe what you meant by no luck? Did you actually check  
those destinations to see if a package was downloaded? Did you get an  
informative error message that you failed to report?




Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?


The main CRAN site package check page says reshape2 is in good shape  
to be downloaded and installed for all OSes. The usual method is to  
use install.packages() so I would think the two leading possibilities  
are operator error (wrong function)  or temporary unavailability at  
the particular mirror you have set for your default.
