[3] LC_MONETARY=English_India.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

Please let me know if there is any other detail that I've left out.


Thanks a lot,

They are on CRAN

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/quantmod/index.html

Please provide exact errors you are encountering as well as sessionInfo() output.

I've installed R V2.15.1 and been trying to install TTR/Quantmod packages on my machine using the usual install.packages command, but I keep getting that these packages are not available in CRAN (which indeed is that case as I could not found them listed on the webpage.). So any idea when would they be available? Also, is the only work-around is to do away with RV2.15.1 and go for some older version or there are any other ways to go about it?
