Dear R-list members,
I have just downloaded R version 2.11.0. Then I installed package gdata. At the end of the installation, a warning message said that package gtools could not be found. Package gdata was, after the installation, included in the "Package Index" in the help files. Messages during installation (which was made through the menu Packages / Instal package(s), choosing the Austria site, R running on Windows XP): utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: dependency ‘gtools’ is not available trying URL 'http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib /2.11/gdata_2.7.1.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 830646 bytes (811 Kb) opened URL downloaded 811 Kb package 'gdata' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked When I tried to use (in R 2.11.0) package gdata and its function write.fwf, I got the messages below: library(gdata) Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) : there is no package called 'gtools' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'gdata' write.fwf(x,'test-01.txt') Error: could not find function "write.fwf" (** Note: x is a data frame **) Package gdata is correctly installed in my R 2.10.1, and both packages gdata and gtools appear in the list of available packages when I try to install some package in R 2.10.1 through the menu Packages / Instal package(s), choosing the Austria site. But when I try to install some package in R 2.11.0 through the menu, only package gdata appears in the list of available packages - package gtools does not appear in that list. Both packages are listed on the CRAN (Austria) package Web page. It seems that R 2.11.0 is somehow not "seeing" the package gtools. Is there any way around this situation? How to correctly install package gdata (which depends on gtools) in R 2.11.0? Both R 2.10.1 and R 2.11.0 are running on Windows XP, in the same computer. Thank you very much.
