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 (That is also a rather old version of R and would have gotten the advice to update before further comments were offered if the above sentence were not applicable.) Since the error message says the packages are nota available for R 2.15.1 I would go to the author's website and see what versions those packages are available for. Standard message to users: read the error messages for meaning.
