OK still no luck, when, as you say it is clear that the package IS available.
It really doesn't seem to matter what mirror I use and they can't all be
down. I can install other packages such as LearnBayes, VCD etc with no
issues, so can't be blocked at my end.
My latest output:

install.packages("bayesm", dependencies=TRUE,
repos='http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html')
Warning in install.packages("bayesm", dependencies = TRUE, repos =
"http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html";) :

Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html/src/contrib
dependency '‘bayesm’' is not available

That is not the correct repository for CRAN!  Try
repos='http://cran.r-project.org";

# when I nominate a mirror via the interface (and believe me I've tried many
different ones!)

We don't know exactly what you did, though. You could download the .tar.gz file and use repos=NULL.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/r-cran-bayesm.

If you use install.packages() note that you are downloading a source
package from a CRAN mirror rather than from some debian mirror.

  and got slightly
further, but I think it is still not recognising a mirror. THis is my
error
message:

install.packages("bayesm")

The package is certainly there.

It could be my version of linux, I know.

All I want to do is sample from a dirichlet prior, so I want rdirichlet
and
ddirichlet commands basically. If anyone can help or suggest an alternate
package that would be great.
