[R] installing packages and windows vista

[Daniel O'Shea]

I installed  R  (R-2.4.1-win32.exe) on a new computer with Windows Vista
and a 64 bit operating system (hp dv9000 with intel core t7200).  The
base R runs fine, but I can not get any of the packages to load.  From
within R I choose install packages choose a site then a package.  I
tried installing 2 packages and get similar errors (see below), I just
copied and pasted lines from R.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Thank you.
