[R] Problems installing Packages

[Sven D]

Hello, 

I am going through Zhao's RDataMining PDF, and to redo all the graphics on
my computer, I need several packages, 'coin' and 'party' to name two.

I get the following error:

> install.packages("coin")

I do not have a problem loading it on my windows PC. Anyone having similar
experience, and perhaps know the solution? Furthermore, package 'RHTMLForms'
from Omegahat I could only install on the ubuntu computer and not on the
windows computer. Anyone know the reason why? Perhaps this is not even an R
question, but any hint would be great.

Thanks



Sven
