Hello, I'm attempting to install the splm package from R-Forge. https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=352 The page says, "In order to successfully install the packages provided on R-Forge, you have to switch to the most recent version of R..." It later says "To install this package directly within R type: install.packages("splm", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")". I just installed R-2.14 and I still get the following error message. Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package 'splm' is not available (for R version 2.14.0) Can someone please help? I understand that there is relevant information in the posting guide, but I'm not a programmer and it's difficult for me to understand. I thought I've followed the advice from previous posts (notably, upgrade). Thank you, Mitch
Installing binaries from R-Forge

The Windows binary seems not to be there. Since this is a development platform and there may be various reasons a binary does currently not exist, you could install the package from source, just add the argument type="source" in your call to install.packages(). How to prepare your environment to allow to install source packages is described in the R Installation and Administration manual. Uwe Ligges

I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I accidentally had 2 versions of R open and got that error message from R-2.10. When I correctly enter the commands you suggest into R-2.14 I get the same as you. However, my installation is filled with errors. I assume the following means that I should install each of these packages prior to trying to install splm from source. Is that correct?

As Uwe said, you need to read the fine manual and set up your system to be able to compile source packages. On Windows that essentially means installing Rtools and Miktek, and configuring some environment variables.

On Windows if you use Rcmd.bat from http://batchfiles.googlecode.com to do your builds and installs then you don't have to set any environment variables for R. Its a self contained batch file that automatically finds what it needs using the registry where possible and assuming standard locations otherwise. Just use Rcmd.bat in place of Rcmd.exe .
