All support on this list is voluntary, and support for old versions of R is not even necessarily on-topic here which is why you keep getting nudged to upgrade. Your "need" for support for an old version is definitely not "our" problem, so I suggest you start looking for a consultant if this

Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)a sad reality I do not like. Here is what I did. I downloaded

Don't choose a mirror. That will override the repos choice. Do update R to a current version if you aren't able to debug this yourself. Duncan Murdoch On 08/10/2020 12:38 p.m., Steven Yen wrote: Sorry Gentlemen and all. Now this is becoming a joke (to me). I repeated what I did earlier,

Sorry Gentlemen and all. Now this is becoming a joke (to me). I repeated what I did earlier, with and without the option to set repos suggested by Duncan. Now it does not work. I wonder whether it is dependent on the mirror I chose, but I do not remember the one I chose earlier when it work.

Okay, so it's not an RStudio issue. However, I'd guess setting options(repos = "https://cran-archive.r-project.org;) at the start of your session could make everything work. (I'm guessing you currently have it set to "http://cran.rstudio.com;, which is the source of the last warning

Thanks. You gentlemen please tell me what this means. In R (outside of RStudio) I ran: install.packages("aod") Received a warning (and installation did not seem to go through). Then I tried install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org') Received a warning but it went on

Just remembered: RStudio runs its own wrapper around install.packages(). Steven, you should try doing the install from outside of RStudio, and see if it makes a difference. Duncan Murdoch On 08/10/2020 9:59 a.m., Duncan Murdoch wrote: He didn't specify the RStudio repos, though it's

He didn't specify the RStudio repos, though it's probably implicitly specified in getOption("repos"). I wonder why install.packages() is looking there, when repos is given explicitly? On 08/10/2020 8:54 a.m., Uwe Ligges wrote: Drop the RStudio repos. Best, Uwe Ligges On 05.10.2020 11:10,
