Re: installing ggplot2 for mac mountain lion

[Frans Slothouber]

Hi Elizabeth,

Looks like the repository a wwu.edu is broken.
You can solve it by selecting a different mirror to get your packages from.

Kind regards,
Frans.

Hi- 

I followed Frans' advice and installed with a different repository.  I then had to install each of the following packages:

digest,memoise,plyr,stringr,reshape2, munsell, colorspace, and scales in order to finally install ggplot2.   There must be an easier way?  But at any rate I now have ggplot2.  Thanks for the help.

Hi Elizabeth,

What command did you use to install ggplot?

A

install.packages("ggplot2")

should install ggplot and all the packages it depends on.

Frans-

I installed using the package installer because that way I could change the repository.   

It seems it may be more than just a broken repository, as the new one also caused trouble.  

Someone else mentioned I could permanently change my repository (still working on that), but since I got errors using two repositories, I'm not sure if that will help.

install.packages('ggplot2', repos='http://whatever.my.cran.mirror/is', dep=TRUE) will do the installation with dependencies in a pinch.  -- H
