After reading this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-geo@stat.math.ethz.ch/msg06797.html

I thought I would try out the package webmaps.

So I ran the following script

install.packages("webmaps",
	repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", dependencies = TRUE, type =
'source') # Mac binary was not found

After the first run there was a message about package pixmap not being
available, so I installed it from CRAN.

Then I ran the above script again and got this message:

Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library'


When I try to load the library I get:

library(webmaps)
Error in library(webmaps) : there is no package called 'webmaps'

Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong here?
Also is there a way to tell what the package dependencies are for a
package hosted on R forge?

Thanks for an help you can provide,

Michael
