Hi,


Always nice to put some details down (version R, OS on which you are running, from home or the office, etc...) & always nice to put down a name if possible ;-)

looks like a firewall issue when trying to installl it from the office (where R does not have the right proxy to access internet), have you been able to installl other packages directly from the console? or download market data using the quantmod package? 

On my install, works fine R2.12 & on windows XP BUT I know I can access internet directly from within R


Good luck
Julien
