[R] Newbie question: error message with install.packages

Thu Aug 20 06:13:45 CEST 2015

Hi,

I’m starting to work my way through “Machine Learning With R” by Brett Lantz.  

Running on Mac OS X 10.10.4

I’ve downloaded and installed R and the R Console comes up fine.  

Whenever I use the install.packages command, regardless of the package I get the same error message:

> install.packages ("RWeka")
Error: Line starting '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLI ...' is malformed!

Any idea of what is wrong and how to solve it?  

Thanks!
