Package Releases
Posted by omegahat on March 20, 2010
I just put a new version of the XML package on the Omegahat repository.
There is a new version of the RKML package which handles large datasets much more rapidly.
Also, I put a new package named RJSCanvasDevice which implements and R graphics device that creates JavaScript code that can be subsequently display on a JavaScript canvas in an HTML document.

HI:
I just tried to download the RKML package like this:
install.packages(RKML, repos = “http://www.omegahat.org/R”)
but got an error message:
> install.packages(“RKML”, repos = “http://www.omegahat.org/R”)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘RKML’ is not available
If at some point I am able to intall it, would I be able to
run kml files from R?

Hi Felipe
The problem is install.packages() is looking for a
prebuilt binary version of the package for your operating
system (windows?). But I haven’t put a binary version
of the package on the omegahat repository. I can do that,
but you might try to install the source version of the package
with
install.packages(“RKML”, repos = “http://www.omegahat.org/R”,
type = “source”)

I have this package installed in a Fedora 13 and working very well.

Thanks for attention…

Problem SOLVED.
I’m install a R-devel package and update to R-core-2.11. Now it’s work fine.
