Hello all,

I've searched the lists and the web and not found an obvious answer to this; my apologies if I'm overlooking something.

I've used 2.6.x for awhile; this morning, after installing 2.8.0 on my Mac OS X 10.5.5 machine, neither install.packages nor the "Packages & Data/Package Installer" work and all of my previous packages (which had been installed "At System Level" using the GUI-driven process) were gone. Attempts to "Get List" through the GUI process fail with

Warning: unable to access index for repository 
http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/macosx//contrib/2.8

I've have tried multiple mirrors. I believe the problem is that the mirror filestructure is different than what R expects. However, even if I fool the GUI process (by using the "Other directory URL" option), installing a package still fails.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.


M-J
