[R] XML

[dr mike]

This cropped up in a previous posting here (Monday this week, in fact),
responded to by Prof. Ripley. It also cropped up on the Bioconductor mailing
list before Christmas, in relation to the AnnBuilder package. For those who
have reposTools installed, the solution provided by John Zhang was, from the
command line enter:

>library(reposTools)
>install.pacakges2("XML")

Regards,

Mike

The Windows ZIP file for package XML is available here:

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/2.0.0/

thanks to Prof. Ripley.

The current build report for the Windows packages indicates that this is one
of the packages that will not build "out of the box".

The Windows build report is here:

http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html

and the README file that covers this issue is here:
