Hi Didier,

I tried

install.packages(PTAk,"lib")

and it gave

--14:05:05--  http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES
           => `/home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/tmp/fileR4815S31df'

14:05:05 (93.71 KB/s) - `/home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/tmp/fileR4815S31df'
saved [41456/41456]

Warning message: 
No package "0.1" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd,
available = available,  

What am I missing?

There is an underscore ("_") in the name"PTAk_1.1-1". My R will expand this
into "<-" and pervert the 

install.packages(PTAk_1.1-1)  [clip]
Warning messages: 
1: argument `lib' is missing: using /home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/Sources/lib
in: install.packages(PTAk <- 1.1 - 1)

I just disable this feature, but it might be advisable not to use it in
file names too.

Thanks for help.

Kind regards

I've never used this command before but the name of the package is PTAk  not
PTAk_1.1-1
Sorry about this misleading mail for the announcement with the version of the
package added!

Alternatively to install.packages you can download the tar file PTAk_1.1-1.tar.gz
on CRAN ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html#PTAk
by clicking on the hypertext
and then install by
R CMD INSTALL PTAk_1.1-1.tar.gz
or with the option   -l  " lib"
(if lib different from  $R_HOME/library)
