I'm a little new to R, and it seemed to me that I understood how to install packages from CRAN mirrors and from source files, but now I'm at a dead end. I am currently using R 2.10.0 on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine.
I want to try using the RGoogleAnalytics package found here , and I try to follow the instructions. They instruct us to install both RCurl and XML packages from omegahat. For instance,
install.packages("RCurl", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")
however, this will not work, as I get the following error:
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘RCurl’ is not available
When I try this instead:
install.packages("RCurl", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R", type="source")
After downloading the file, the following error appears. I used to have version 1.0, and it was restored.
