Hello!

I've just installed R and I'm doing my first steps. I tried to install a
package from a local zip.file.

------------------
> {pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)}
> install.packages("C:/schacar/rw1051/RPgSQL.zip", .libPaths()[1], CRAN =
NULL)
updating HTML package descriptions
-----------------

But after installing it is not available within the library.
-----------------
> {pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)}
----------------

By using the select I only can load pre-installed packages. Did anybody
using R under Windows have the some problems? Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
 
Thanks in advance...

Calle
