Hi!
There is a "musical" note next to the rpm in CRAN and its mirrors and
it seems to require some sort of plugin that I don't have. Is there a
way around that?
Thanks.

This is generic brain-damage caused by assuming that file extensions uniquely determine the content (same effect as assuming that README.DOC files are all in MS Word format). There's an audio format also called RPM (a version of RealAudio, it seems). Normally, there's a way to tell your browser to download links instead of displaying them, thus bypassing any plugin "requirement". In Mozilla it's Shift-Button-1.

thanks, I'll remember that. FWIW, I got around this problem using wget. I do get an error installing the rpm tho: [root at home tmp]# rpm -Uvh R-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:R error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/R/library/survival/man/survival.Rd;3dcfe8e8: cpio: read and trying to run: Fatal error: Probably no X11 support: the shared library was not found -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
