[R] errors when installing packages

[peter dalgaard]

Presumably a problem at your end. Suspicion points to permission settings on the target directory, or virus checkers "helpfully" moving recently created files to a safe place for scrutiny.

(Do you _really_ get errors for "survival" when installing "Hmisc"? It could happen via a dependency, I suppose. If it is just the survival folder that has incorrect owner/permission, you could try removing the folder and reinstalling survival.)
