Subject: package installation fails only for "sp"
I have escaped Splus for Windows (mostly) and have started using
R (v 2.3.1 on i686 redhat). Installing packages has been routine except
for "sp" (classes and methods for spatial data). I get the following error
message
> install.packages("sp")
Warning in download.packages(unique(pkgs),destdir=tmpd,available=available,:
no package 'sp' at the repositories
Clearly I am missing something (probably obvious), but can someone
enlighten me
as to why the behavior of this package installation is different from
others? sp is
listed under "Contributed packages" at the R-project URL. Thank you
for your time.
