Problem installing MinGW 5.0.3: Your internet connection seems to be not permitted or dropped out!
Hi, Duncan, Marc:
Thanks. MinGW 5.1.2 seemed to install OK.
Best Wishes,
Spencer Graves

Their automatic installer is a bit flaky. You may need to install the packages manually. And as Marc pointed out, 5.0.3 is no longer the latest. I haven't tried 5.1.2 yet, but I'll probably update soon. Duncan Murdoch On 12/21/2006 4:07 PM, Spencer Graves wrote:
Hi, All:
I'm having trouble installing MinGW 5.0.3, trying to follow
Duncan Murdoch's suggestions
(http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/). I download
"MinGW-5.0.3.exe" as he suggested. After double-clicking on it, I
get past "Welcome to MinGW" and select either "Download and install"
or "Download only" and choose to install "Current". Whether I select
only "MinGW base tools" or that plus "g++" and "g77" compilers, I get
the following error message while "Downloading
mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz":
"InetClinet plug-in: Your internet connection seems to be not
permitted or dropped out! Please reconnect and click Retry to resume
installation."
After clicking "cancel", I got the following error message:
downloading mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz
SendRequest Error
Could not download
http://error.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz!
I got this on two computers, one running Windows 2000 server
and the other using Windows XP 5.1, Service Pack 2.
What do you suggest I try to get past this? Thanks,
Spencer Graves
