Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Problem using the R.app GUI Package Installer

[Ken Beath]

In the Install Packages dialog there is an Other Repository option and that 
seems to be permanent.

It can also be changed in the Preferences.

R error message:

I checked for upgrades and installed R version 3.3.1

I got the same error message once again.

Luckily I remembered that I could install libraries from within R and thus used:


install.packages('RCurl', dependencies=TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')


But I am wondering if the malfunction of the GUI approach is something I can 
fix or is temporary?



That was probably a temporary problem, or a local network problem for 
you:  I can get the URL to open.


But in general, to change the default mirror in R.app, run 
chooseCRANmirror() in the console.  I forget whether that changes it for 
the session or permanently.

[R-SIG-Mac] Problem using the R.app GUI Package Installer

[Joseph Kunkel]

I got this error message working under R version 3.3.0  trying to use the Mac 
[R.app GUI 1.68 (7238) x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0]  Packages & Data/ Package 
Installer

R error message:
Warning: unable to access index for repository 
http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3:  cannot open URL 
'http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3/PACKAGES'

I checked for upgrades and installed R version 3.3.1

I got the same error message once again.

Luckily I remembered that I could install libraries from within R and thus used:

> install.packages('RCurl', dependencies=TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')

But I am wondering if the malfunction of the GUI approach is something I can 
fix or is temporary?
