I'm running R v2.7.1 on Mac OS X. When I go to the R package installer GUI, I am not prompted to select a repository.
This indicates that you selected one before and told the GUI to remember it. You can change it in Preferences->Startup->Default CRAN Mirror.
The usual screen is there but the columns for package, installed version, and repository version are all populated via blank entries. If I select "Get List" the error below occurs. The same thing occurs if I go form the command line via install.packages. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Probably your mirror is broken. Try selecting a different one (see above). Cheers, Simon
