[R] problem of unix package installation, following code no response: install.packages("packagename", dependecise=TRUE)

[Yihui Xie]

It has nothing to do with your UNIX system. The CRAN mirror at CMU is
currently not available. You may choose another mirror. For example,

install.packages('SASxport', repos = 'http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu')
