Michael--

I had emailed Duncan Lang about this a while back (the maintainer of Rstem).  He 
gave me the following suggestion (which worked for me with R v2.2.1 and Windows XP):

install.packages("Rstem", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")

cheers, Dave

Dear r-helpers,

I can't get lsa to run because:
  > library(lsa)
Loading required package: Rstem
Error in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc
= lib.loc) :
	'Rstem' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?
In addition: Warning message:
cannot create HTML package index in: make.packages.html()
  > install.packages('Rstem')
Warning in install.packages("Rstem") : argument 'lib' is missing:
using /Users/mk/Library/R/library
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available =
available,  :
	 no package 'Rstem' at the repositories

Since Rstem is on http://www.omegahat.org/, I then followed the
advice at http://www.omegahat.org/cranRepository.html:
  > options(CRAN = c(getOption("CRAN"), "http://www.omegahat.org/R"))
  > install.packages('Rstem')
Warning in install.packages("Rstem") : argument 'lib' is missing:
using /Users/mk/Library/R/library
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available =
available,  :
	 no package 'Rstem' at the repositories
