Hi,

I am unable to install the R package XML using R 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
(64-bit). After the installation failed using install.packages, I followed
previous directions for installing R packages on Ubuntu
(R-SIG-Debian<http://grokbase.com/t/r/r-sig-debian/127nwwez27/package-xml-does-not-load-in-r-2-15-1>,
StackOverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7765429/unable-to-install-r-package-in-ubuntu-11-04>)
by running sudo apt-get install r-cran-xml. However, this is not usable
with R 3.0, and update.packages(oldpkgs = 'XML') failed as well. Lastly, it
is not available on the RutteR
PPA<https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter/+index?batch=75&direction=backwards&start=600>
.

Is there a way to solve this? Thanks in advance!

John
