[Rspatial-devel] Difficulty installing 'sp' (& as a result everything else).

[kevinio at hush.com]

Edzer & others,

thanks for the quick response & sorry if signing K caused offense.
I tried install.packages("sp") many times, resetting repos using
options("repos"=c(CRAN="@CRAN@")), trying all the French, German & UK
repos, New Zealand, Ireland (where I'm from), plus several others (in
North & South America). As I've said, I've had no issues installing
recently (bitops, RCurl... I installed classInt around halfways into
my attempts installing sp).
Response invariably is:
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘sp’ is not available
sessionInfo() currently produces:
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 
i486-pc-linux-gnu 

locale:
 [1] LC_CTYPE=en_IE.utf8       LC_NUMERIC=C             
 [3] LC_TIME=en_IE.utf8        LC_COLLATE=en_IE.utf8    
 [5] LC_MONETARY=C             LC_MESSAGES=en_IE.utf8   
 [7] LC_PAPER=en_IE.utf8       LC_NAME=C                
 [9] LC_ADDRESS=C              LC_TELEPHONE=C           
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IE.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C      

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base  
  

other attached packages:
[1] classInt_0.1-19 e1071_1.6-1     class_7.3-2    

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tcltk_2.11.1 tools_2.11.1
On the off chance that loading RCurl would make any difference, I did
& got the same response as previous, this time from Canada (ON).

Regards,
Kevin.

In order to answer something useful, you need to specify exactly the
steps you took, the commands you used, and also tell what
sessionInfo()
gives for you.

Unless your name really is K, I also appreciate signing with names -
we're people on both ends of the line, after all.

Best regards,
