[R-SIG-Finance] Where can I download the latest RBloomberg package ?

Mon Apr 25 09:21:25 CEST 2011

Dear Lin,

I tried your suggestion, doesn't work neither.

The return message said "unable to access index for repository.....".
(see below)

Does it mean the package not there?

I already tried both repos = "http://r.findata.org/" and repos =
"http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/".

thanks,

Gary

Here is the output.

>install.packages("RBloomberg",repos="http://r.findata.org/rbloomberg/")
