[R] can't find and install reshape2??

[chris howden]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for the delay in replying, I've been
having one of those weeks.

I feel a little silly not trying the package name input as a character
string, I should have know that. However I have tried your suggestions and
neither worked. The code and error messages are at the bottom of this email
and U can see the reason would appear the "reshape2" package is not
available on the repositories I'm trying to access.

I then tried closing R, reopening it and looking in the following CRAN
mirrors:
Australia
UK(London)
Canada(BC)
USA(AZ)

Reshape 2 was in none of them, my choices were:
ResearchMethods
Reshape
ResistorArray

But no reshape2!!!!

Any ideas as to why I can't see reshape2? 

Is it just me or are other people having this problem?

thanks

The first argument in download.packages should be of type character or
a vector of characters.

This worked for me:

install.packages('reshape2')

as did:

download.packages('reshape2', '~/Downloads/')

Cheers,

Jeff.
