[R-sig-Geo] raster package: Problem with installation on Windows (Vista)

[Agustin Lobo]

I've run the install command as stated in
http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=294

from within R on Windows Vista but got an error:
 > install.packages("raster", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning in install.packages("raster", repos = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org") :
   argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\Cel\Documents/R/win-library/2.9'
Warning: unable to access index for repository 
http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.9
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
   package ‘raster’ is not available

Should we just download the zip fie and run a local
installation?

Thanks

Agus
