[R-sig-Debian] Fwd: I can not install DAAG package . help

[Michael Rutter]

Yanyaun,

I was unable to recreate this error, as DAAG installed fine for me.  I 
would suggest that you remove the randomForest package (remove.packages 
command), then try to install DAAG.  At least try to install 
randomForest by itself and see if that generates and error.

Hope this helps,
Michael
