problems installing packages since upgrade to 2.4.1

Ken,

I upgraded R to 2.4.1 yesterday and I'm having problems  
reinstalling some packages I had installed before and that I need  
for some modeling.

I've tried rgl and fBasics and I get similar error messages (see  
below).

Has anyone had luck with this?

This looks like a problem with the mirror - did you try another CRAN  
mirror? If in doubt, a good test is to try the master CRAN repository...

Cheers,
Simon
Thanks

Ken
