problems installing package XML to a computer without an internet connection
Hello Gabor, I believe I used the method you described to download zip files for rJava, tm, matrix, filehash etc etc. There is no windows zip file for XML, only a gz file which I can't get to load through install local zip file. The XML zip file I located on http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/ resulted in the namespace error. regards Bob

On a computer with an internet connection use your browser to find and download the XML package zip file. (Note that this step does not involve using R.) Transfer zip file to XP. Start up R on the XP & use the menus: Packages | Install package(s) from local zip file to install it. On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 9:50 PM, Bob Green <bgreen at dyson.brisnet.org.au> wrote:
Hello, I am hoping for some advice regarding how I can install the XML package which I require to run package tm. Normally I would use the install package option, however, I have to install the packages to a laptop running XP. The laptop does not have an internet connection. Firstly I tried the file - XML_1.99-0.tar.gz . Below is the error I received Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In zip.unpack(pkg, tmpDir) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file 'XML_1.99-0.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' Then I tried XML 1.96-0.zip (from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/). Below is the error I received Loading required package: XML Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) : there is no package called 'proxy' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tm' Any suggestions are appreciated, Bob
