which zip file is the emulator package?
Hi, Duncan. I choose 'package' then ''install package' and tried 6 different U.S. mirrors. The message I always get is: Warning: unable to access index for repository http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.7 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7 Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1], dependencies = NA, type = type) : no packages were specified In addition: Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80. I assume it's something on my end because I've been having connectivity issues here. Thanks again for your help. eric

Hi. ?I'm trying to run the elliptic package on my computer (windows platform, version 2.7.2). ?I downloaded the elliptic package zip file from http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/ and installed it, but it says that it needs the "emulator" package. Can you tell me where to download this? ?The only similar package by name is 'emu_4.0.zip' which is not 'emulator.' ?I also can't have R automatically install this by clicking on 'packages' and 'install package' because it gives me an error message.
The current release gives no error if you ask it to install elliptic, and it automatically finds that emulator is in the BACCO bundle. ?You didn't say what the error message was that you saw, so I can't tell you whether it was due to a problem on CRAN or with what you asked for. Generally speaking it's easier and less error-prone to just ask R to install a package, rather than manually downloading and installing one. Duncan Murdoch
