Subject: [Rd] install.packages Bug? (PR#7876)
Message-ID: <20050517143801.0E42EE7AB@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Martin Posch
Version: 2.1.0 and 2.1.0 patched
OS: Windows XP SP2
Submission from: (NULL) (131.130.1.135)


When installing the Hmisc package using the install option in the RGUI I get
the
error message under both R 2.1.0 and R 2.1.0 patched (see the outputs below). 
I tried the install after a fresh reboot (to minimize the possibility of locked
up files). The same problem arises with some of the other packages.

I use a german Windows version but set the RGUI-language to english (setting the
environment variable LC_all to "en".
