Hi David I have installed R Version 2.15.1 on the image but having problems install rcom and rscproxy.
Those are commercial packages and not maintained or supported by R-Core
I need to clarify that statement: http://homepage.univie.ac.at/erich.neuwirth/php/rcomwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:how_to_install rcom is placed on CRAN but authored by the people who distribute RExcel, so technically it's not a commercial product itself but it is made available to support a commercial product. You will notice in its requirements statconnDCOM: And it's wiki says rcom does not comply with CRAN open source requirements anymore: http://homepage.univie.ac.at/erich.neuwirth/php/rcomwiki/doku.php?id=start
