Sender: P. RoebuckThe problem is you are using an ancient version of R (circa 2009). Ask your sysadmin to install the current version and rerun the commands per my initial followup. That package requires R-3.1.1 at minimum.
## Install current version of R (assuming RedHat)
$ sudo yum install R
## Verify the version installed afterwards says the following
$ R --version
R version 3.1.2 ... (Pumpkin Helmet)
## Create user package library for current version of R
$ mkdir ~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1
## Install package (as per original followup)
$ R
R> rforge <- "http://r-forge.r-project.org";
R> install.packages("soiltexture", repos=rforge, type="source", depend=TRUE)
R> library("soiltexture")

I tried using your suggestions. Please see the error messages below. I need some "dependencies" which I am completely blind about. I will appreciate your help to proceed. Thanks.
>rforge<-"http://r-forge.r-project.org";

Would you like to create a personal library
'~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10'
to install packages into? (y/n) y

Sender: Pascal SchramlHello,
the easiest way to install this or any other package ist to type the following in you R-Console:
install.packages("soiltexture", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org/";)
This is for the CRAN-version.
I however, recommend you to download the more recent R-forge version (1.2.19 vs 1.2.20). Just type:
install.packages("soiltexture", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)
Regards,
Pascal |
