Hi,
I'm new to R. Apologies if this is a simple query, I've searched the mailing
lists and docs but can't find a solution to my problem.
I'm trying to make some packages available on our intranet. During development
the 'intranet' is a webserver running on localhost.
* When I call "install.packages" I get a mesage about not being able to access
'index for repository'.
* The directories are viewable and can be seen through a web browser.
* Web server is IIS running on Winows 7.
* I've used the same paths on the web server as where the packages are located
in the CRAN mirror's.
* I've tried setting setInternet2(TRUE), which was already set.
r<- getOption("repos");
r["CRAN"] = "http://localhost";
r["CRANextra"] = "http://localhost/pub/RWin";
options(repos=r)
r
CRAN CRANextra
"http://localhost"; "http://localhost/pub/RWin";
install.packages("abind")

Can anyone give me any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Does R need some kind
of index file to map between the name 'abind' and the zip filename?
Right, the PACKAGES file. You will find it in any repository.
If you only have a selectio of packages on your local server, you can
use write_PACKAGES() from the tools package to generate your own.
Anyway, if you make a local repository available: Does it make sense to
just install all of them into a library that can be accessed from all
machines you aimed at with the local repository?

Many thanks
