Hello,
I am hoping for some advice regarding how I can install the XML package which
I require to run package tm.
Normally I would use the install package option, however, I have to install
the packages to a laptop running XP.
Windows, I presume.
The laptop does not have an internet connection.
Firstly I tried the file - XML_1.99-0.tar.gz . Below is the error I
received
What does 'try' mean? That would work if you used Rcmd INSTALL on it,
or install.packages(type="source").
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In zip.unpack(pkg, tmpDir) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In gzfile(file, "r") :
cannot open compressed file 'XML_1.99-0.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
Then I tried XML 1.96-0.zip (from
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/). Below is the
Why from 2.7? What version is your R?
error I received
So that worked: it is 'proxy' you are missing. From the DESCRIPTION
file
package: tm
Title: Text Mining Package
Version: 0.3-3
Date: 2008-12-20
Author: Ingo Feinerer, with contributions from Christian Buchta, Kurt
Hornik, David Meyer, and Fridolin Wild
Maintainer: Ingo Feinerer <feine...@logic.at>
Depends: R (>= 2.7.0), filehash, Matrix, methods, Snowball, XML
Imports: proxy
Suggests: Rgraphviz, Rmpi, Rstem (>= 0.3-1), snow
still you may need packages filehash, Matrix, methods, Snowball and
proxy.
I suggest getting those from bin/windows/contrib/2.7/ on CRAN, and
installing from the 'Local zip file' menu optipn.
Loading required package: XML
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) :
there is no package called 'proxy'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tm'
Any suggestions are appreciated,
Read the posting guide, remember to tell us what we asked for 'at a
minumum' and what you actually did.
