Ralph,
Building a new Win7 system here. Just ran the R install and did
Joshua's install.packages("LSPM",repos="
http://r-forge.r-project.org")
and it pulled down LSPM and Deoptim and with no apparent problems.
I'm scanning the Software folder from the March seminar and I see 42
packages. Have you changed (updated) any of that stuff? The list has
some stuff I recognize that the default R scripts require (e.g. snow)
and other stuff that looks nice to have (e.g. fAsianOptions).
Thanks,
