install.package("TinnR") - there is no package called 'TinnR'

Hi Martin,

If all else fails, you could download the package from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/TinnR/index.html
and install as a .zip file from within R.

That is bizarre that R cannot find the package. I've had no problems downloading and installing.

Best regards,

Patrick

David,
that is not helpful. I KNOW that TinnR is a standalone editor. If you 
had a look at the Rprofile.site required by TinnR, you would notice the 
part of the code I send earlier:
# check necesary packages
necessary = c('TinnR', 'svSocket')
installed = necessary %in% installed.packages()[, 'Package']
if (length(necessary[!installed]) >=1)
install.packages(necessary[!installed], dep=T).

These are executed by the TinnR editor upon start. The TinnR package 
MUST therefore exist, and is required.

Hope that someone else can REALLY help.

Martin

I have troubles make TinnR 2.2.0.2 work, it seems that the dependency 
on the package TinnR that cannot be found (I tried also manual 
downloads, but I cannot find the package anywhere on any CRAN mirror).

I even set a default cran mirror in the Rprofile.site file, so that 
the later command can find it:
# check necesary packages
necessary = c('TinnR', 'svSocket')
installed = necessary %in% installed.packages()[, 'Package']
if (length(necessary[!installed]) >=1)
install.packages(necessary[!installed], dep=T).

No luck. Even manually issuing the comand in Rterm fails, package 
'TinnR' is not available.
Any idea how I could make my TinnR work? I googled extensively, but 
without luck...

Thanks
