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

[Robert J. Hijmans]

Agus,

R-Forge only builds packages for the current version and the next
(development version of R).  If you are not using the current version
of R, you can do

> install.packages("raster", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

Otherwise, yes, either download the source and build, or download the
compiled version install.

Robert
