[R] "Warning message: package '...' was built under R version 2.3.0"

[Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.]

Uwe,

I think I used following repositories: PA1, PA2 and NC, which are the
closest to me and I think I got the same results in all. The package I
downloaded was "coin" which downloaded other packages. The consol printout
follows:

Well, those in the corresponding "2.2" repository on CRAN should all be 
build with R-2.2.0. If not, please tell me which one is wrong.

Where did you get the packages for R-devel from?
