getSymbols fails for Yahoo symbols

It seems that chart.yahoo.com  has returned to service.

Looks like Yahoo have stopped providing web interface via chart.yahoo.com,
which is used by getSymbols.yahoo. The site used to download data through
the web interface is ichart.finance.yahoo.com, which seems to use the same
interface.

Thanks for the report.  Fixed in r610 on R-Forge.

Happy New Year,
Ivan

Best,

How does one install the new version? The standard command I've used
for other packages

install.packages("quantmod", repos = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

installs 0.4.1 which is likely the stable version I suppose.

The quantmod code on R-Forge should not be considered "stable".  It's
where development changes are applied and tested.  If you want the
latest from R-Forge, you must build from source, or wait for the
R-Forge build process to create the package.

See here if you want to build from source.

If it matters I'm using R-3.0.2 & R-Studio-0.98.490

Thanks!
