[R] Multiprecision arithmetics?

[Spencer Graves]

Dear Prof. Ripley: 

      I just got a negative result from 'install.packages("gmp")': 

trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/PACKAGES'
Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 25432 bytes
opened URL
downloaded 24Kb

Warning message:
No package "gmp" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, 
available = available, 

      This was from R 2.0.1 under Windows 2000. 

      I see "gmp" listed among contributed packages on CRAN, but the 
above command didn't get it for me. 

      Thanks,
      spencer graves
